Leep Inc. is seeking to enhance its current feature offerings while simultaneously revamping its user experience (UX) design to create a more user-friendly and engaging interface. The project aims to address the challenges of transitioning into a new phase of project development by improving existing functionalities and ensuring a seamless user experience. The focus will be on identifying key areas within the current platform that require enhancement and redesigning them to align with modern UX principles. This project provides an opportunity for learners to apply their knowledge of UX design, user research, and feature development. The goal is to create a cohesive and intuitive user interface that enhances user satisfaction and engagement, ultimately supporting Leep Inc.'s growth and innovation objectives.

Looking for :

UX/UI Design & Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)

Ideal for designing the user experience, conducting user research, and prototyping the redesigned interface.

Skills: Figma, Adobe XD, usability testing, wireframing, user journey mapping.

Computer Science / Software Engineering

Essential for developing the interactive music editor, feedback tools, interactive radio, and the algorithm for user taste matching.

Skills: Frontend & backend development (React, Node.js, Django, etc.), AI/ML for recommendation systems, API integration, and cloud computing.

Data Science / Artificial Intelligence

Useful for building and refining the algorithm that matches users based on their taste.

Skills: Machine learning, collaborative filtering, natural language processing (NLP), recommendation system design.

Digital Media / Interactive Media Design

Ideal for crafting the interactive elements of the platform, such as hybrid communication and music editing tools.

Skills: Multimedia design, interaction design, animation, and augmented reality (AR) experience is a plus.

Music Technology / Audio Engineering

Essential for the development of interactive music tools and refining sound-processing elements in the editor.

Skills: Digital signal processing (DSP), MIDI integration, music production tools (Ableton, FL Studio, Pro Tools).

The project deliverables will include a detailed UX design proposal outlining the recommended improvements and enhancements to the current platform. Additionally, working on new features to help the application become more social in cultivating a community to create a better customer journey in using core features. 

Some of these features would be:

- Interactive radio feature for listeners 

- hybrid communication feature aimed to motivate users from various backgrounds to interact guide by swiping

-interactive music editor and feedback tools to further guide musicians to experiment on new sounds and seek exposure

-algorithm to further act as a suggestion system to match users taste

- geo- location search feature to localize specific searches for artist seeking collaboration and directed growth

A prototype of the redesigned interface will be developed, showcasing the new features and user flow. The team will also provide a comprehensive report detailing the user research findings, design rationale, and implementation plan. These deliverables will ensure a clear path forward for Leep Inc. to implement the proposed changes effectively.
