Client Overview
The client is one of the world’s largest entertainment-to-education publishers, managing a vast catalog of books, authors, and events across multiple regions. As digital consumption increased, the organization needed a modern, cross-platform application that could showcase content effectively while giving users better control over their reading experience.
