In early 2023, Amazon collaborated with Pratt Institute School of Information to organize a design challenge to develop a new feature for Amazon music streaming service.
Within 3 weeks, our team were able to visualize and imagine a future of listeners' with music, and design a new feature that leverage Amazon Music's offerings.
The project was a resounding success. My team was selected among 21 teams to the final round, and presented to Amazon Vice President of Design and other Amazon employees.

“I would use it! I think that's a good way of organizing different purposes of listening to music.”
