    Skyhitz Music App
    Skyhitz is New Music and Uprising Artists.
    UX / UI Designer, Identity Designer, Adobe Photoshop CS6, Xcode 6, Apple Keynote · Worked with founder to design a clean interface that is easy for… · More users to navigate and create their own music communities while tapping into new music.

    Have learned a lot about the music industry and the current demands in the digital space. Users need a way to contribute directly to the artists they love and the people themselves should have a voice when it comes to what music is being shared.

    Am a part of marketing strategy and brand voice development as well as designing the experience and user interface.

    Why Are We Doing This?

    - We want to transform the music industry and let artists get paid for their work.
    - We want to create a system in which we let the public be the A&R's of music and be rewarded for finding the best music before others do. The earlier you support hit songs the more reputation you get. (Not at all like the bureaucracy of record labels)
    - We want artists be the owners of their music. (Be supported by fans so they don't have to give away their music copyrights to monopolized corporations)
    - Let the game be more fair for everyone.

    What was the most impactful class you took in school?

    Art History. The question for me is, "if we look at art was a reflection of the times, influenced by the politics, war and other human issues, is there a shift now in the power that art holds? Perhaps it is no longer a reflection but a catalyst."

    Started a rock 'n roll band.
