Startup Web Development Case Study
Quinn is an inclusive audio erotica platform founded in 2019. In 2021, they tapped Big Human to help refresh their brand and product — bringing greater personality, usability, and community to both their desktop site and mobile app.
We started by revamping Quinn’s visual identity: bold strawberry red accents meet a soft rainbow gradient, set against a clean white base and Swiss typography. The goal? To highlight Quinn’s playful yet thoughtful energy. On the product side, we overhauled the site structure and navigation, layered a tag-based system so users can filter by mood or preference, and built a blog hub to connect education, wellness, and storytelling. We also prioritized privacy and consent — users can pick anonymous usernames, tailor their experience, and curate public or private playlists.
To foster community, we enabled public playlist sharing, creator followings, and social integrations. Plus, every December, we craft a “Quinn Wrapped” campaign to spotlight users’ listening habits — a beloved ritual on the platform and beyond.
Under the hood, we rebuilt the media player in React Native so audio streams flawlessly (even while devices are locked), and syncs across devices. Listeners can bookmark creators, queue content, or download for offline listening. We also turned the sound wave UI into a progress tracker — a subtle yet evocative visual cue.
Since the redesign, Quinn has matured into a space that’s open, expressive, and always evolving. The platform now better reflects its founders’ vision — a place for authentic, gender-inclusive sexual wellness — while making it easier than ever for both new and longtime users to explore, connect, and play.
