Looking back at my UIUX Internship

For the summer of 2021, I was selected to work with a team of interns on the "Gamification" project as a UIUX Designer. I collaborated with the marketing department at FDM to ‘gamify’ three of the career pathways shown on their Graduate Programme websites. In an agile team, I formulated and assessed user requirements with the business analyst to share insights into what university students look for in career research.

Subsequently, I created a design system to create wireframes and design prototypes of the user interface based on these requirements. These designs were finally shared with the software engineer and software tester interns for feature implementation. At the end of the internship we conducted a presentation of our project enhancing my communication skills alongside sharing our research and website feature ideas for the FDM Graduate page.
