UX Case Study
YouTube Music:
Redesigning the user flow.
Simplifying music discovery and the playback interface.
Concept redesign based on real issues observed in YouTube Music. Metrics are presented as estimated impact.
01. My Approach & Impact
How I optimized the experience.
My goal was to minimize cognitive overload through the simplification of critical tasks. Redesigning key user flows allowed me to boost both perceived efficiency and system usability, leading to these outcomes:
+80%
Efficiency
85/100
SUS - Usability
02. The Problem
Noise vs. Rhythm.
Elena, 22
Urban DJ
Buried in too many steps while organizing her day.
After redesign: Playlists ready in seconds.
Carlos, 70
Music Lover
Frustrated by visual noise that caused him stress.
After redesign: Classics found without errors or fatigue.
03. La Solución
Architectural Control.
To combat Decision Paralysis, I focused on architectural control rather than adding new features. By introducing a modular and editable card system, users can now customize their home screen.
The 14 original sections are now reduced and reorganized into a clearer, more hierarchical structure.
'Edit Your Space' feature: Users can now remove, reorder, or rename sections directly from the Home Screen.
🚀 The 80% Efficiency Boost
Optimized flows for everyone.
By re-engineering the save and search flow, we resolve the frustrations of both profiles under a single efficient model.
FOR ELENA (THE DJ)
As an active DJ, Elena demands extreme speed. By implementing a smart multi-select system and a 'Save' function shortcut, I transformed a frustrating 6-step process into a fluid, one-tap action.
FOR CARLOS (THE MUSIC LOVER)
Carlos values clarity over constant suggestions. My redesign gave him full control to remove or edit Home sections, eliminating visual clutter, navigation friction, and cognitive fatigue.
