This project was born from my experience trying to create a music piece using GarageBand and instead visualizing rhythm in Illustrator.

I sought to capture that design-centric way of thinking about music by building a platform where drawing replaces traditional composition.
- Feature Real-time sound generation using stroke shape, length, and position
Collaborative interface where users can upload and view others' compositions
Firebase backend for storing and sharing musical sketches
Designed for accessibility—no prior music theory required -

COLLECTIVE MUSIC CREATION- AUTOMATICALLY UPLOADSLIBRARYDRAWING CANVAS -The platform was showcased at the MIT Media Lab's "Curious Ears" event, where participants interacted with the tool, exploring sound through form. Attendees enjoyed seeing visual representations of music created by others, fostering a sense of collective creativity and discovery.
