ONBOARDING FLOW
Onboarding flow uncovered more opportunities to explore in gaining "accuracy" in matching relevant skill types. With limited time allotted, the best solution at the time was to find a hybrid of what musicians look for and how comparable filter matches based on location and interests.

USABILITY TESTING
ntune was tested remotely using maze.co and Zoom. Overall, feedback from participants was positive with small changes made to the interface for clarity.

Replacing the discover icon with a globe as opposed to a search bar and labeling them helped clarify the navigation.
In early versions of the design the 'request to collaborate' CTA was a plus sign. After some confusion during testing, it was modified to a button stating 'request to collaborate'.
Participants preferred to move through the walk-through at their own pace and, a progress bar.
