Reflection
This project is an attempt for me to design an app for musicians and instrument players. From user research to market research, I had been finding core pain points for instrument players who has recording habit, and exploring what music means to them. One of the most valuable aspects of this design project is finding out the unique design opportunity and then accomplish it.
As a flute player, this project also fulfills my own wish. I even hope this app could be developed and to be used in daily life. I enjoyed the design process and hope to keep going to develop my skills in an interdisciplinary field.
