I joined Housemates’ team as a product design intern and later stayed as a junior product designer during the first half of 2020. I helped create their web app and set up a minimum viable product (MVP) for Housemates; working around product, user experience and user interface.
I developed further skills in UX/UI, product building and iterations from user feedback, flexibility (fast-paced environment of a startup), sprint work and working in a team. I also had the ability to conduct brainstorming workshops for my team in order to include everybody's say on product change.
Before interning here, I had little knowledge about web design but I decided to apply as I believe that I could hone my skills in design thinking and problem solving as well as developing a new skill. I learned considerably through this hands-on approach, working with my team as well as accepting the collective feedback in the aim of meliorating the end product.
