Stationhead Channels

Stationhead is a place for music fans around the world to connect, listen live, and stream together. I worked with their team to design a new experience to help listeners discover new Stations and bring together related hosts and fans into a single space. The experience is called Channels and has become the stage for 15+ fandoms to connect since launching in early 2022.
