Work Experience
Frog
Visual Design Intern
During my 10 weeks I was involved in two programs, one was for a consumer-facing product, while the other was for a client-facing product.
The first was a Ventures program for a Mobility Company. As part of a multi-disciplinary team I worked on the brand world building (Brand Patterns, Livery Design and Ads) and iconography systems for the User Interface. I participated in sessions to create frameworks to be used for some user features.
The second was for a Fortune 10 Company. During the Immersion and Discovery Phase I was involved in Stakeholder Interviews, Design Research Synthesis, and auditing of the existing brand—Design Language System . I contributed to the Trendscape Research and worked on the initial Interface Design—to explore and craft brand patterns from the agreed Design Principles.
