The SOunds True ONE Team

As the sole product design lead on Sounds True One, I joined a small cross-functional team of developers and a project manager to bring a brand-new wisdom and wellbeing platform to life — spanning both web and iOS — in just 10 months. I owned the full design process end-to-end, from early user interviews and usability testing through UX architecture and final visual design, guiding the product from an initial concept all the way to a successful beta launch.

Throughout the project, I worked with the PM to define product requirements, kept developers aligned through each design phase, and supported QA to ensure we hit our launch milestone on time. On the stakeholder side, I regularly presented concepts to C-suite and design leadership to build consensus and secure buy-in at key milestones — and created a high-fidelity marketing prototype specifically to support the launch promotional campaign.


The result is a subscription platform where members can access live classes, original programming, and community events from world-renowned spiritual teachers — all through a polished, cohesive experience that reflects Sounds True's 35-year legacy of wisdom and wellbeing. The app launched to strong user reception, earning a 4.6-star rating on the App Store.
