Ozone 5
As product manager and UX designer for iZotope’s flagship mastering software, Ozone, I helped to bring the product from a $200 all-in-one plug-in beloved by musicians and hobbyists, to a set of tools that Grammy-winning mastering engineers could trust.

At its core, Ozone was always a phenomenal sounding product with some of the best DSP in the industry. However it needed some help to reframe its impressive features in a way that professionals would take seriously. A big part of the story was metering. We overhauled the visualizations throughout Ozone’s processors to provide critical visual feedback. And we created a new configurable view called Meter Bridge that introduced an innovative 3D spectrogram that allowed engineers to compare instruments or stems visually. Many of these improvements live on in Ozone today, over a decade later.
