Context

An independent, collaboration-first electronic music platform where any DJ can share their sound and story regardless of following. The site is the platform’s home: episodes, studio sessions, an interactive "Pick a Question" series, a gallery, and submission funnels.

What I did

Led creative-tech and digital direction end to end: architecture, front-end build, and content structure. Designed a multi-section experience with a custom audio player, newsletter capture, a community question form, and a "featured countries" tracker.

Highlights

  • Custom-built audio player instead of a heavy embed
  • Optimized WebP/AVIF image pipeline
  • Full SEO/social layer: canonical, Open Graph, Twitter cards, descriptive alt text
  • Content architecture that scales with every new episode
