    Takeaways

    Design Systems
    I gained my love for design systems through my work this summer. I learned the importance of perfecting each component and being able to create designs that are accessible + applicable to all device screens.

    Data Analysis
    My mentor introduced me to Google Analytics, heatmaps, interaction recordings, traffic analysis, etc. This helped me further develop my skills in UX research, and a way to create concrete A/B tests.

    My Voice as a Designer
    I learned that even as an intern, I have the ability to make feature proposals. It was very insightful to understand the end-to-end process of taking out/adding in new components to the product.
