Vosyn Content Sharing Platform
6 Team Members
August - December 2023
UX Design Intern
Overview
I led a team of 6 UI/UX designer interns to design a Large Language Model (LLM)-powered streaming platform for an early-stage startup.
During the fall of 2022, I had the opportunity to join Vosyn as a UI/UX design intern for a period of four months. I was part of a team of six other designers, and I had the privilege of co-leading the team. The projects I worked on involved visualizing the product and developing the company's website, which serves as a central hub for marketing and PR purposes. While I'm unable to disclose specific details due to the project's confidentiality under a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), I will share some of my responsibilities and the valuable lessons I gained during my internship program.
Context 1.1 - overview
Getting Started
The UI/UX team was a newly established department, and during the first weeks of my internship our focus was on gathering resources and learning from existing teams. We met daily with team leaders and the co-founders to align with the product vision and stakeholders’ expectations. This phase was challenging, as I had no prior industry experience and had to quickly adapt to the company’s fast-paced, agile environment, all while leading the team and ensuring we stayed on track toward our goals.
Building Momentum & Seeking Feedback from Others
Despite many ups and downs in the first few months, we built trust in each other’s capabilities and continuously sought feedback from other team leads. I also reached out to higher management for guidance on how to lead a team effectively and strengthen relationships with my teammates, which helped us grow even stronger as a group
Be a Jack of All Trades
Working in a startup environment has taught me that being a jack of all trades is not only beneficial but essential. The dynamic and fast-paced nature of startups requires me to step out of my comfort zone and tackle tasks beyond my usual capabilities, which has significantly accelerated my learning and skill diversification. This experience has honed my problem-solving abilities, fostered an entrepreneurial mindset, and increased my adaptability, making me more versatile and effective in my role as a product designer.
