Learnings

1. Independence and collaboration

I learned how to work independently and well with other product team members; come to good design decisions, and reliably execute through the phases of a project without a great deal of oversight from a manager.

2. Privacy of users first

By working with the privacy team, I learned the nuances of existing constraints, as the highest standards of privacy need to be respected to ensure safety for billions of users.

3. Product thinking

I have started to see myself as a system designer thriving in product thinking. I learned to take up ambiguous issues and create frameworks for tackling them.

Final reflection

My summer internship was an invaluable learning experience that helped me to grow as a designer. I am grateful to have worked with a talented team that allowed me to understand the importance of communication and collaboration. Knowing that I designed a user flow that improves app discovery for billions of people is something I am genuinely proud of. It makes me believe that, as designers, we can positively impact the world.
