Part-Time UI/UX Designer (Music Sampling Platform MVP)

About the Project
We’re building a music sampling platform dedicated to preserving and sharing global folk and fusion music. Our platform will feature rare sounds from indigenous artists, enhanced by GenAI-powered search to help creators discover samples by mood, culture, or natural language queries (e.g., “Find joyful Thai khene loops”). The MVP will launch with a focus on Southeast Asia, expanding globally to Latin America, Africa, and beyond.

Artist dashboard (track downloads, revenue).

High-Fidelity Mockups:
