My very own music startup
After harboring an idea for a new, different music app, I decided in 2016 to put all my efforts into making it happen.
My idea was to create the world's first interactive music service that gives the artist the opportunity to package and sell their recorded ideas to the listener.
As a sole entrepreneur, I had to create all the graphic material myself, from the app's design to promotional material.
I also made a animated promo video about Soggl's music service.
