UX Design Internship
THE PROGRAM
What this is all about
As a UX designer, you are the advocate for your user. A deep empathetic understanding of your user’s needs is essential. You always strive for process optimization and friction removal. You communicate within an interdisciplinary team and inspire with your clean solutions. You will enter different scenarios and need to quickly develop a solid understanding of their fundamentals.
Workshops and user research methods are your first set of tools. You will document your insights and transform them into compelling concepts. You are working with UI design tools like Sketch or Figma and prototyping tools like Flinto or Axure. During all phases of a project, you are able to demonstrate your ideas in all fidelity levels.
