WIPWAV is a platform designed to help musicians escape the “8-bar loop”, the endless cycle of half-finished ideas that never make it past the demo stage. I created it to bridge the gap between inspiration and completion, giving artists a dedicated space to share works in progress, find compatible collaborators, and exchange meaningful feedback without the noise of traditional social platforms. As both product designer and UX researcher, I guided the project from user interviews to high-fidelity prototypes, focusing on trust, creative flow, and the specific challenges of unfinished music.
