Like many adjectives, 'individuell' (individual/customized) can also be used as an adverb to describe how an action is carried out. It then remains unchanged and usually comes after the verb, describing the manner.

We can design the trip entirely individually according to your wishes.
In the meaning 'zugeschnitten' (tailored), 'individuell' (customized) is often combined with verbs that describe adaptation or design. Typical examples are: individuell beraten (to advise individually), individuell planen (to plan individually), or individuell anfertigen (to custom-make).
Jeder Kunde wird von uns individuell beraten.
Each customer receives individual advice from us.
When 'individuell' (individual) describes an unmistakable character, it often comes before nouns like style, taste, or touch. It then emphasizes the personal and unique quality.
Sie hat einen sehr individuellen Modegeschmack.
She has a very individual taste in fashion.
together / shared
'gemeinsam' and 'individuell' can form a contrast. 'gemeinsam' fits when several people do something together or share something. 'individuell' fits when something is adapted to a single person or thing, or has its own character. In courses, plans, or consulting, the difference is clear: there can be a shared task for everyone, but individual help for each person.
