OVERVIEW & GOAL

Redesigning the Podcast Creator Dashboard for Seamless Web3 Publishing

I worked on this product to design a Web3 creator dashboard UX, focused on building features that help creators publish episodes on the Base network and engage with supporters (collectors). The Creators Dashboard is where creators can start a new podcast, manage their shows, and publish episodes on the Base network.

I collaborated with three engineers and one product manager to redesign the podcast creator dashboard. My work focused on:

Designing a creator earnings dashboard and creator monetization dashboard to monitor collector activity and withdrawals with ease
Enabling creators to import episodes via RSS feed for efficient podcast publishing platform design
Creating a settings feature to invite and manage team members
Designing a streamlined earnings page where creators can view and withdraw their earnings with ease

Our goal was to help creators earn their first dollar, expand tooling to interact with collectors, support easy onboarding of new shows via email, and enable episode uploads with as few clicks as possible. We also focused on simplifying channel management, allowing creators to edit all aspects of their show, and providing default publishing settings to reduce setup friction.
