Currently, the users cannot manage, view and track recurring bookings from a single screen. The users have to individually open sub-appointments for booking details, tracking professionals, and reschedule or cancel the bookings. Therefore, under this issue - we will develop a single page to allow users to conveniently track and manage recurring appointments to uplift user experience.

Developed a push notification design for the homepage from the ground up and seamlessly extended the same design process to the Careem app. Coordinated and presented design system components and rules of Careem and Justlife to the Careem Product designers for a cohesive and unified user experience.
