Deep-Dive
This project involved a complete overhaul of the in-app illustrations and graphics for a client's mobile application. The primary objective was to replace an outdated and disjointed set of visuals with a new, cohesive illustration system that would elevate the user experience, align perfectly with the brand's identity, and bring a clean, modern aesthetic to the product.

The existing graphics suffered from several key issues:
Visual Inconsistency
The old illustrations appeared to be created in different styles with varying color palettes and line work. This created a fragmented and unprofessional user experience as users navigated through the app.
Brand Misalignment
The visuals did not match the company's established branding. The incorrect use of colors and tone created a disconnect between the product and the brand's identity.
