There’s a version of this job where you show up, make things look good, and hand it off. Clean screens. Nice typography. A color palette that passes the vibe check. Everyone nods. The client is happy. You move on. I’ve done that version. And I’ve watched those products quietly fail. Not because the design was bad but because it wasn’t connected to anything. It was decoration. Pretty wallpaper on a house with a broken foundation.
