BookBeat is a digital subscription service for audiobooks and e-books. I joined the team to elevate the design of its mobile and tablet apps, focusing on a more polished, consistent experience across iOS and Android.





My work involved refining the UI and UX of the core app, aligning behaviors and visuals across platforms while maintaining a native feel. I also contributed to the tablet experience, adapting layouts and interactions to suit larger screens without losing clarity or simplicity.





BookBeat for Kids – Concept App


In parallel, I worked on a concept for a dedicated kids version of the app. Together with a small team, we handled everything from user research to high-fidelity prototypes, developing a new design system tailored specifically for younger users. Although the project was ultimately shelved, it was a valuable exercise in translating core functionality into a more playful and age-appropriate format.
