Lily at GEICO

UX/UI Design Internship @ GEICO

Over the summer, I got to spend my time learning from GEICO's amazing Experience Design Team (XD). Working closely with professional UX Designers and Researchers allowed me to develop my skills in usability testing, wireframing, and prototyping. Under the mobile app team, I was given independent projects that would be implemented by development.

Lily at Northside

Northside Website Case Study

As a Community Assistant Intern for Balfour Beatty, I was tasked to improve the experience of the residents at Northside Apartments. After facing many complaints concerning the usability of the website, I conducted research on how to improve customer satisfaction. Using that information, I created a prototype and mockup of an ideal off-campus student housing website.
