JBL AmpUp! - UX & UI Design

Wake up on the rocking side of bed!

What if you could wake up to your own music and make every day the best it could be?

JBL is a ubiquitous brand in many countries. Alongside Industrial and UI designers, I worked within the Industrial Design team at Harman International in Shenzhen China to take a first stab at the app landscape relevant for a brand like JBL. Over the course of 4 months, I designed 2 iPad & iPhone applications and coached 2 visual designers into crafting modern (at the time) visuals.

JBL AmpUp was available on the Apple App Store in 2011. It has since been discontinued.
