Role

Shining the path to synergy

As Senior Designer, I collaborated tightly with our Brand/Marketing expert and Ads specialist over seven rigorous months. My responsibilities for user experience, graphics, coding, and branding, paired with their specialized skills, reversed our fate.

Challenge

Dimming light in a bright market

Before officially starting, my initial 25-page website assessment uncovered critical gaps in SEO, user experience, and brand messaging. Once on board, I discovered more pressing problems that constrained resources, prompting me to initiate cost-effective enhancements. These targeted improvements clarified FlexBeam's unique value, improved market navigation, and ignited consumer interest.
