Skills
Role
I was a UX Design and Research intern that worked on team to collaborate on a redesigned user experience for the "College Students and Recent Grads: How to Get a Job in 12 Weeks" educational course.
✋🏽 Before you read ...
This was my first UX internship, and you can find my first-ever case study on it here!
What I Learned
For the entirety of the internship, the project was built through the UX design cycle of empathizing, researching, analyzing, designing, and pitching our high-fidelity prototype recommendations to the web development team and CEO at the conclusion of my 16 weeks at Super Purposes.
My role involved...
-
Providing design consultation for existing programs on:
-
Current interfaces
-
Usability factors
-
Copy, videos, and graphics
-
-
Wire framing and prototyping interactions using Adobe XD
-
Worked closely with Web Development, Graphic Design, and Video Production teams to tackle existing usability, layout, and design issues.
What I appreciated most about my time at Super Purposes was that I was given the chance to show my flexibility and capacity for constructive feedback. My designs were consistently put to the test, allowing me to grow as a young professional in UX.
What I Did
Here are some of the projects I worked on:
-
A user persona and mood board based on user feedback to drive a new direction in the program design.
-
A prototyped mockup of a redesigned website to modernize the current design
-
A UX-educational presentation to bridge communication and break down silos between other teams at Super Purposes
Thanks Super Purposes for the best first internship! 😊
