Key Takeaways
This internship was a crash course in real-world UX. I had the chance to work on a meaningful product design challenge that involved collaborating with people from different departments and across the world, and importantly, working directly with users.
My user interviews and design feedback sessions were a real highlight. Being able to hear from people who use the Work Order as part of their daily job gave me unique insights and helped me to advocate for improvements. I kept these people in mind throughout my design process and reflected on them when I made design decisions. The user research also connected the product team with users in a new way. Seeing how people used the product in the real world was an eye opener for everyone!
never considered treating things differently and how nice it is to have a clear and consistent pattern
the power of simplicity and the power of tidying up. Avoid adding complexity when not necessary
Scaling was a new thing for me to consider, importance of close collaboration w/ dev partners
