Spotify ✕ Wearables
Leading the strategic design of Spotify’s wearables presence across smartwatches and wireless headphones.
Apple Watch
Responsible for redefining Spotify’s Apple Watch experience to launch the features and functionality music fans have been shouting out for.
Through the refreshed app, you can now control, stream and download your favourite music and podcasts from your wrist or by voice, providing the most seamless way to play Spotify in any situation.
Streaming
You can now stream Spotify directly from your Apple Watch and leave your phone behind. With a WiFi or cellular connection, you can listen phone-free, find the perfect playlist on the move, and even use Siri to control the playback.
Offline Downloads
I led the design and rollout of the Apple Watch offline experience — one of the Spotify community’s most requested features.
Download playlists, albums and podcasts directly to your watch and listen anytime, anywhere, without the need for your phone or a network connection.

Google Wear OS
Rebuilt from the ground up, I designed Spotify’s best-in-class app for Wear OS.
Build with better performance in mind; we delivered a faster, more responsive experience with streaming, offline, Spotify Connect, and Google Assistant integrated as standard.

Samsung’s adoption of Wear OS for their new smartwatch range and Google’s re-investment in the platform helped us make significant strides towards creating a more competitive Android alternative in the market.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
