I was responsible for multiple projects including Care teams, improving UX flow of linked device and PC screen redesign
In this role, I worked on several significant projects, including "Care Teams," linked device user experience improvements, and PC screen redesign.
Collaborating closely with Product Designers, Product Managers, Engineers, and Researchers, I contributed to enhancing the user experience of the Aura mobile app and website. This involved iterative design processes and incorporating user feedback to make the product more user-friendly.
I also had the opportunity to improve the usability of linked devices within the Aura ecosystem and redesign the PC screen for better intuitiveness.
Learnings: I gained valuable insights into the field of product design and learned how to effectively collaborate in a cross-functional team. I refined my design skills and understood the importance of aligning design decisions with the overall business goals of the company.
Effective communication: This emerged as a linchpin of success within our cross-functional team. Daily interactions with Product Designers, Product Managers, Engineers, and Researchers highlighted the critical role of clear and concise communication. It was essential to ensure that everyone had a shared understanding of our project goals, timelines, and requirements. This skill not only prevented misunderstandings but also streamlined workflows and fostered a sense of unity among team members.
Value Feedback: I learned not only how to provide constructive feedback but also how to graciously receive it. Embracing feedback created a culture of continual improvement, enabling us to collectively refine our work. It made me realize that feedback is an invaluable tool for personal and professional growth.
Empathy: was another cornerstone of my internship. Understanding the perspectives and needs of our users allowed us to design products that genuinely met their requirements. This empathetic approach not only enhanced the quality of our designs but also underscored the significance of prioritizing the user experience in our work.
