Project Overview
Summary
A greenfield creator marketplace frontend, redesigning a single-format eBook/audiobook site into a multi-creator storefront for music, eBooks, audiobooks, art, merch, and bundles.
Business Type
Creator Economy / Digital Marketplace
Target Audience
Independent creators, musicians, visual artists, and the audiences who follow them
Main Goal
Create a destination that feels worth belonging to — both for creators and their communities
Project Goals
Creator Destination
Feel like a place creators want to build, not just a utility to upload content to.
Content Discovery
Help audiences discover creators and releases through an editorial, curated UX.
Platform Identity
A distinct visual system that stands apart from mainstream platforms and feels premium.
Extensible Catalog
One unified product model across music, books, audiobooks, art, and merch, so new product kinds are additive, not a redesign.
Strategic Direction
LeftKoast is built around atmosphere, not algorithm. The editorial design and independent positioning create a platform that gives creators ownership over their identity — not just their files. It's designed to feel like a destination rather than a directory.
