Ideal Candidate: - Extensive experience in mobile app UI/UX design, with a strong portfolio to demonstrate. - Proficient in Figma and familiar with Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines. - Able to create simple, clean designs that are also interactive and engaging. The timeline for this project is 2-4 weeks, which includes the design phase and time for revisions. In your proposal, please include: - A link to your portfolio, specifically highlighting relevant mobile app design work. - A brief explanation of your design process, including how you incorporate user feedback and testing. - Your estimated project timeline, broken down by design phase, revisions, and final handoff.
