Job Summary
Lead a scoped initial project to establish working rhythm, such as redesigning the app's onboarding slideshow or aligning visuals across the website and app store listings. If the trial succeeds, drive a full UI/UX pass across the application page by page while incorporating the finalized brand color palette and typography.
