Ane Aranburu

I care about how things look, feel and work.

I bring clarity to complexity — connecting ideas, people, and systems to help teams make better decisions and build better products.

I currently work as a Lead Product Designer at Output — designing music production tools like Output Creator. Previously at Fjord and Fantasy.

Most of my work is under NDA — reach out and I'll walk you through more.

Building a more intuitive creative
workflow for music production

Over two and a half years, I led the end-to-end redesign of Output Creator — from workflow architecture and interaction design to user research, visual design, micro-interactions, and front-end polish. It was designed using Figma and Cursor, but it was shaped by countless conversations, disagreements, iterations, and an ongoing rebrand. Together, we launched a product that was genuinely fun to use — and helped secure a partnership with Yamaha, including live demos at NAMM and SXSW.

Creating the foundation
for a next-generation learning experience

Fantasy partnered with Embibe to design a unique onboarding experience — closing the biggest drop-off in the funnel: the gap between learning about the app and actually downloading it.

Creating a unified cinema experience
across digital touchpoints

A redesign of Cinépolis’s website, mobile app, and in-cinema kiosks — for one of the largest movie-theatre chains in the world. Led at Fantasy, in Spanish and English, all the way up to presenting to the CEO.
