OVERVIEW

Designed wireframes for new modules and contributed to design system

  • As part of my 3 month internship at Neudesic, an IBM Company, I had the opportunity to work on an internal project management accelerator application that was being built powered by OpenAI.

  • Due to NDA, I cannot share screenshots of the application here

DESIGN SYSTEMS

Created new icons to replace duplicate icons for existing modules

  • The first task I did during my internship was look at the existing system and identify areas to improve the user experience. I noticed duplicate icons existed within the application for various modules.

  • Therefore, I proposed creating new icons for existing modules and upcoming modules while maintaining visual consistency with the currently present design system.

  • This was appreciated by the team and implemented into the system. 

New icons

Built design system for Azure DevOps extension

  • The last task I was bestowed with during my internship was to help build the design system for the Azure DevOPS (ADO) Extension.

  • I helped in building components such as buttons, dropdowns, tables and dialog windows amongst others that followed the Fluent Design System to maintain coherence and overall visual consistency.

LO-FI WIREFRAMES

Created new icons to replace duplicate icons for existing modules

  • The product team wanted to restrict certain modules' access to different types of users such as developers, quality analysts and business analysts.Upon back and forth discussions, I conceptualized three different conceptual user flows and finalized one with feedback from the product and development team.

HI-FI WIREFRAMES

4 conceptual user flows later

  • Work items are generated with the help of this application. However, when managers used this application they noticed inconsistencies in the work items that were being generated.

  • Therefore, a module was conceptualized as a solution to this problem, to maintain consistency within the items where one can provide a template, add samples and assign a template as the default for the current project.

Templates Config Process Flow

  • Four different conceptual user flows were identified and built, incorporating feedback from the team and conducting usability testing.

REFLECTIONS

Iterative design & effective communication are key to user-centered solutions

This UX internship provided my first hands-on experience in:​

  • wireframing,

  • prototyping,

  • visual design,

  • building design systems and mastering collaboration,

  • industry tools,

  • feedback incorporation,

  • and time management.
