IBM Internship
Overview
During the summer of 2020 I had the opportunity to intern at IBM Ottawa's design studio, where I contributed to the user experience (UX) of key components for Cognos Analytics, their AI-powered business analytics platform. This experience bridged the gap between my academic and personal design learning by allowing me to directly influence a large-scale digital product. It was a true catalyst for my design career, giving me invaluable firsthand experience in the field.
What I Did
As a new designer, I embraced the opportunity to learn from different design teams in the studio. By collaborating on various projects, I gained exposure to a wider range of design tasks.
Main projects
Made UX Improvements on the dashboard
I joined the dashboard team to identify and propose UX enhancements for both creating and using dashboards. Leveraging my fresh perspective as a first-time user, I focused on improving the filter section, making it more intuitive for new users.
Updated the user interface as per IBM's design system Carbon
I contributed to a major initiative to migrate Cognos Analytics' user interfaces to IBM's Carbon design system. While ensuring pixel-perfect replication to maintain consistency, I actively looked for opportunities to enhance the user experience within the design system's guidelines.
Led design thinking workshops with stakeholders
Leveraging virtual sketching sessions, I collaborated with IBM Analytics stakeholders to gather requirements for a new online community hub supporting Cognos Analytics customers. Through iterative design cycles informed by user feedback, I helped shape a user-friendly platform that fosters engagement and knowledge sharing.
Other wORKS
Participated in a design challenge using IBM's AI Watson on the product
Proposed a predictive AI that scans news articles to assist with relevant dashboards in a team of developers, architects, and designers. I created the interfaces and prototype for the proposed product.
Prototypes for customer onboarding and marketing teams
I developed a compelling prototype that visualizes the customer onboarding flow and interactions with IBM's analytics product suite. This visualization proved instrumental in analyzing user engagement opportunities and potential gaps between different products.
