Jukebox lets listeners tune into radio stations from anywhere in the world, host their own station, and stream audiobooks; built especially for truck drivers who spend long hours on the road.

The Problem
The app had an outdated design and a limited feature set that didn't reflect what the product could actually do. The client needed a redesign that would modernize the experience, better showcase existing functionality, and give the app room to grow into new features like station-hosting and, eventually, audiobooks, podcast, etc. without the interface feeling like an afterthought bolted onto an old shell.
The Approach
The primary user base for the app was a specific, underserved audience: truck drivers across the US and UK who listen to radio stations from different countries during long hours on the road. That single insight shaped a lot of the design decisions that followed.
The process followed end-to-end structure in a tight one-month timeline:
User research
Pain-point identification
Wireframing
Low and high fidelity design
Final polish
Given the shorter runway, decisions had to be made faster and validated through direct comparison against category leaders rather than extended testing cycles.
The Solution
The visual direction leaned hard into the emotional register of the product; music and radio should feel alive, not clinical:
Red and dark gradient palette to create a musical, rave like atmosphere that matched the energy of discovering and listening to stations.
A constantly moving background gradient to reinforce that sense of motion and life throughout the app, rather than a static, flat interface.
Feature patterns borrowed and adapted from category leaders like Apple Music and Spotify, including:
Sleep timer
Genre browsing
Favourites
A nearby stations discovery screen, letting users find local or regional stations relevant to wherever they physically were.
A scope covering mobile app, web app, and landing page.
The Result
The redesign translated directly into growth. The app crossed 100,000+ downloads on Play Store following launch, alongside a stronger, more cohesive visual identity that better matched what the product was becoming, a global radio platform rather than a basic station streaming app. The improved interface gave the product a foundation solid enough to support its later expansion into audiobooks, and the rebrand to Tales FM reflected that broader ambition.
A one-month timeline doesn't leave room for guesswork; every color, gradient, and borrowed pattern had to earn its place immediately.
