LOVE SYNTHESIZERS · PRODUCT / INTERACTION / IDENTITY

An instrument that loves to be different.

FIRST LOVE brings a fresh approach to shaping sound and making music. Hands-on controls meet a playful visual interface in a standalone instrument made for exploration.

Co-founder & Lead Designer · Hardware, interaction and identity

Working with the instrument’s inventor, engineers and developers, I connected the hardware, touchscreen and supporting tools through prototypes. Making ideas tangible helped us resolve decisions and move the product towards production.
