Project сontext
Kyivstar Music Club — premium music streaming service for Kyivstar subscribers, delivering unlimited ad-free listening, music downloads, and zero-rated data (free mobile traffic). My role: designed native iOS/Android apps following platform-specific guidelines (Human Interface Guidelines + Material Design) for optimal user experience.

Onboarding & Error State Design
Added contextual illustrations + tooltips to onboarding screens and empty states across iOS/Android apps + website. Designed first-time user experiences enabling seamless service access while optimizing for low-bandwidth conditions (error screens + content loading optimization).
Design System Evolution & Launch
Maintained and evolved scalable design system + documentation, reducing team cognitive load and eliminating design debt. Successfully launched Music Club iOS/Android apps in August 2018 — available for download in App store and Google Play.
Service Evolution
Music Club began as web-based music streaming with unlimited mobile downloads across devices. Redesigned website to match native iOS/Android app feature parity, ensuring seamless cross-platform experience (responsive across all screen sizes). Website later suspended by Kyivstar; service now exclusively app-based with live App Store/Google Play availability.
