Turning TV show moments into lasting memories
As a personal side project, I explored how to extend the emotions and connections people feel when watching their favorite TV shows.
I designed an experience where users can relive key moments and soundtracks from series and movies, combining curated playlists (via Spotify) and main scenes (via YouTube), creating a simple, yet emotionally powerful space for fans.
TV shows create strong emotional connections, but these experiences often fade once the season ends.
The challenge was to create a seamless, curated space where users could reconnect with these feelings anytime, using music and key scenes as emotional triggers.
At the same time, the experience needed to simplify the complexity of gathering and curating content from multiple sources, making it feel effortless for the user.

Approach
Mapped emotional triggers and key user moments tied to TV shows, identifying soundtracks and iconic scenes as the most powerful memory activators.
Designed a minimal, intuitive interface to explore and relive shows by season, scene, or mood.
Integrated Spotify and YouTube APIs to automate content curation at scale, ensuring users always had fresh, dynamic content.
Created interactive prototypes to test engagement and emotional resonance with users.
Built an experience that’s simple on the surface, but powerful in emotional connection and technically scalable through APIs
Highlights
TV shows create emotional bonds that extend beyond the screen, music and scenes are the bridge to bring them back.
Simplicity in experience design was key to let the emotions shine, avoiding overwhelming users with too much information.
Automating curation through APIs made the experience scalable and effortless for the user, while still feeling personalized.
