Get listeners to soundtrack and share their life through Spotify

We all love a Spotify generated playlist, but now it's time to move users into the spotlight. 'Spot' is a feature whereby users can create playlists that capture key moments in time, by tagging them with a location and date and pinning them to the Spot map. The feature gives master curators the chance to publish playlists tagged to places they love, and social trendsetters the opportunity to explore music in places they'd love to be.

Insiders App: Help first years isolating in University accommodation.

Insiders' is a project-based around helping first-year students isolating at university during COVID-19. Starting university and being away from home is intimidating at the best of times. Unfortunately, the pandemic meant many students anxieties were high as the prospect of making new friends and isolating with strangers is daunting.

Insiders' is an application that supports first-year university students connect with others during their isolation period. The app contains challenges and forums that encourage students to still engage with their first-year experience. The online platform includes features to helps students to connect with others isolating around them, communicate with students in other university halls and learn how to stay connected to their university.

Ceara Horwood

I am a visual thinker with a passion for creating social campaigns and digital products. My projects centre around users and engage communities big or small.

I thrive when creating digital solutions and experiences that fulfil community needs. From teaching the next generation to lead sustainable lifestyles through looking after their leftovers, designing a feature that enables users to soundtrack their lives through Spotify to aiding first-year university students to stay sane in quarantine. My projects are diverse yet focus on challenging issues in today's society. This year I have taken a particular interest in UX and UI projects, as they challenge me to engage with users and further advance the skills I gained during placement. My passion is to pursue a career in the digital design industry.

Work Experience

Saggitarius Digital Marketing Agency
Working at Saggitarius opened my eyes to the world of UX and UI design. My time spent at the agency consisted of creating the look and feel of numerous app and websites. I worked on a range of web design projects and designed creative solutions for upcoming digital beauty and travel campaigns. A year in the industry has taught me how to build client relationships, learn how to work effectively to design deadlines and still produce high-quality professional outcomes. Other responsibilities included in-house design material, project meetings, research and design concepts. I am now using those talents to advance my design practice.
