Online crate digging had become frustrating — scattered across store pages, endless filters, and zero listening before committing. I defined a swipe-first interaction model to bring back the spontaneity of flipping through a physical crate, adapted for modern mobile behaviour.

I designed a card-based discovery interface centred on large album artwork and instant audio playback — deliberately stripping away menus, search forms, and navigation layers. Every decision reduced cognitive load and kept users in the flow of discovering music.

I built the iOS app with multi-store inventory aggregation, real-time audio previews, and personal wishlist management — optimised for one-handed use and short discovery sessions during commutes or breaks.

Shipped VinylSwiper to the App Store alongside a companion website — establishing a coherent brand identity across both touchpoints and making it easy for vinyl collectors to find, download, and start discovering records immediately.
