JOB OVERVIEW

I'm building a macOS desktop application called Rediscover — a preset manager for music producers. It helps producers browse, search, preview, and organize their synthesizer preset libraries across multiple plugins, all in one place.
The app is fully functional but currently uses default/placeholder UI. I need a skilled designer to create a polished, professional visual identity and UI design that feels native to macOS while standing out as a premium music production tool.
What You'll Design
Phase 1 — Branding & App Icon

App icon (macOS format, all required sizes from 16x16 to 1024x1024)
Color palette (primary, secondary, accent, backgrounds)
Typography choices (or confirmation of system fonts)
Brand style guide (1–2 pages covering the above)

Phase 2 — Full UI Redesign

Main application window (three-column layout: sidebar, content table, detail panel)
All component states (hover, selected, active, disabled, empty, loading)
Light mode and dark mode variants
Filter bar, search field, dropdown menus
Status bar with playback indicator and controls
Sidebar navigation with sections, user-created lists
Preset detail panel with metadata, actions, and tags
Empty states, loading states, error states
Any micro-interactions or transitions you recommend

Deliverables

Figma file with organized frames, components, and a clear layer structure
Exported assets: app icon (all sizes), any custom icons or graphics as SVG/PDF
Style guide page within Figma or as a separate PDF
Design should be implementation-ready with clear spacing, sizing, and color specs

What I'll Provide You

A detailed design brief document describing every screen, component, and user flow
Wireframe descriptions of the current layout
List of supported synths and sample data
Reference apps for aesthetic direction
Access to ask me questions throughout the project

Ideal Candidate

Strong portfolio showing macOS or desktop app design (not just mobile or web)
Experience with Figma (required)
Understanding of macOS Human Interface Guidelines (native feel)
Bonus: familiarity with music production software aesthetics (DAWs, plugin UIs)
Bonus: experience designing dark-mode-first interfaces
Good communication and ability to work from a written brief

Timeline

Phase 1: 5–7 days from start
Phase 2: 10–14 days from Phase 1 approval
Total project: ~3 weeks

How to Apply
Please include:

Link to your portfolio (Behance, Dribbble, or personal site)
2–3 examples of desktop/macOS app designs you've done (if available)
Your fixed price quote for the full project
Estimated timeline
A brief note on how you'd approach designing a music production tool

Please do not apply if you only have mobile or web design experience. macOS desktop design has different patterns and conventions.
