Designing Mobile and Desktop Screens
As a Junior UX/UI designer, I spend most of my work hours designing
screens for our mobile and desktop platform. The work typically starts
with our design team working together, then we switch to doing individual
and asynchronous work.

Prototyping
We use insights from past interviews to create scenarios that best highlight the key features of our product. As part of the design team, I make screen flows based on these scenarios, then review final designs with the team before creating clickable prototypes.
Customer Interviews
Through video chat, the product team has discovery interviews
with the customer to learn more about their needs, wants, and
pain points. During these external meetings, I help the team by reviewing the questions and taking thorough notes during the
interview.

Final Edits & Wiring Prototype
The designers implement the feedback and wire up the clickable prototypes on Figma. We review and edit as many times as we can before presenting to the customer.

Facilitate Friday Meetings
Every week I am in charge of running our morning Friday meetings that serve as a standup and working sessions. I make sure that any outstanding questions are answered and any working projects get reviewed before closing out the week.
Prototype Feedback Decomp
After every prototype review we take notes and
decomp the feedback with the team. Our PM
facilitates the meeting and I am in charge of keeping
an action list with our way forward.

Presentation Slides
When creating slides, work distribution can vary from
individual work on a small project to teamwork on a more
important project. As a designer in a young start-up, I have
contributed to creating a style that matches our company's
design guidelines. I’ve participated in creating presentation
slides used for marketing, investor presentations, client
meetings, and more.

Illustrations
Similar to slide design, I helped create a style of illustrations that fit our company brand. I’ve created illustrations using an iPad and Adobe Illustrator.
