My Value.

I worked primarily on the visual design! From UI, branding, and product I played a predominant role in making Adam appeal and most of all exciting fro our target user! Using real user feedback to implement into our product design.

What if there was a fun, inclusive, and exciting way to change the perspective of time management for young adults?
