My Role
Music Analytics Dashboard Designer and Data Visualisation Developer
I designed the dashboard structure, visual hierarchy, chart layout, KPI presentation, filter arrangement, and Spotify-inspired theme. I also organised the analysis into artist, song, genre, yearly trend, and playlist insight sections for easier interpretation.
My focus was to create a visually strong reporting experience that makes music streaming performance easy to understand at a glance while still supporting deeper exploration through ranked charts and filters.
