Takeaways
From working on this project during my internship, with great mentorships, I learned a lot more about designing UI in general and about how to work with product management team. The prototyping tool Flinto was a new tool I learned from this internship as well. Not only “10 Breakthrough Technologies”, but also with CTO and Product Manager on Sales Microsite Design (Research, Analysis on competitors, and Future direction). Successfully presented to stakeholders. It was a fruitful experience to collaborate with other teams and get to improve my presentation skills.
