The story
The brief
Hanabi Radio streams hundreds of independent stations from around the world, but its first app felt like a spreadsheet. The team asked for an experience that made discovering new music feel exciting again, without slowing down regular listeners.
The idea
Each station gets a living gradient sky that shifts with the time of day in its home city. A simple swipe moves between stations, and a library of illustrated moods helps listeners find something new in a single tap.
- App experience and interface design
- Design system with 120 components
- Mood illustrations and animated icons
- App store and launch assets
The result
Average listening time grew by more than a third in the first three months, and the redesign was featured by app stores in twelve countries.
