This internship was my first full-time assignment as an UI/UX Designer. Since the organization was an early stage start-up, my colleague and I had to design and build the app from the ground up. Despite the steep learning curve, it was an extremely rewarding experience since I had the opportunity to successfully apply my classroom learnings to real world challenges.
The primary learnings from this project were:
• How to create designs that can capture essential information quickly and minimize cognitive load for maximum usability.
• The Importance of iteration in design. The first design is never the last one.
