PROJECT OBJECTIVE
Tasked with designing a visually appealing and user-friendly interface for the AirSticks, a product that enables users to create music through movement. Our goal was to create a user-friendly experience for both professionals and beginners, focusing on efficiency and convenience. With our dynamic UI/UX design, we aimed to make AirSticks stand out, inspiring seamless and enjoyable creativity.
DESIGN PROCESS
Competitive Analysis
After competitive analysis, we opted for a dark-themed UI to emphasize key features. This minimal and simple design, easier to navigate, was informed by our research. We grouped and simplified software interactions, then developed wireframes to clarify technical functions and establish information hierarchy.

As part of the project, I designed the 3D Stationary panel, serving as a hub for the Airsticks software. It offered customizable configurations and easy access to software features. The panel remained visible across screens, adding a unique visual element to the UI.
