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.

SKETCHING IT THROUGH

I tried various layouts to discover one that is visually appealing yet provides comprehensive information at a glance.

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.
