During the summer of 2019, I joined the Qualtrics' design team in Seattle as a UX Design Intern. As an intern, I worked and consulted on products and features providing a direct impact to the TextiQ team with the goal of bringing them to market. Collaborating with users, PMs, engineers, researchers, and a growing design team, I translate user needs and business goals into wireframes, high fidelity designs, and an interactive prototype. My main responsibility was redesigning the entire Related Keyword feature within TextiQ. To complete this project, I experienced the following:
•Learned the ins and outs of Qualtrics' user base and their needs
•Synthesized my findings and understanding of the problem space, and scoped into specific pain points and goals of the Related Keyword feature
•Ideated, prototyped and iterated over 100 wireframes and solutions for the feature which I constantly presented to other designers for critique and feedback
•Converged my designs and went all-in on a solution for Related Keywords that I believed in and that Qualtric users would love
•Presented my work and design process in front of the company and design team
Additionally, I gained a lot of experience working in a growing design team which included the following:
•Learned how to balance the needs and work closely with PMs, engineers, and designers
•Worked with UX Researchers to gather and understand user data
•Presented and defended my work in front of a design team and received actionable feedback
•Organized and ran brainstorming sessions with other designers
•Set up one-on-ones with other designers to discuss and receive critique on my work
•Attended weekly Crits to see and give feedback to other designers work
•Integrated an existing design language into my work seamlessly
