Spent a month studying and crafting the UI prototype, simplifying the freelancer hiring process into three steps: login, search, and contact.
Creating a Simple Design System
Dedicated days to design a user-friendly design system and animations for the website.
Iteration
I Realized the need to segregate users from the outset (clients vs. freelancers), allowing for tailored interfaces with distinct data and features. I realize of this when I was close to finish the profile section, it was way too much information together, so i decided to just focus on Client view.

The resulting AI-powered scheduling app offers a seamless user experience, allowing individuals and businesses to effortlessly manage their schedules.
