Internship Product Designer resume example

• Under supervision, carried a complex form from sketches through an interactive prototype, tested error recovery with users, and documented component states for engineering handoff.
• The team observed 16 small-business owners completing payout setup and mapped 7 failure points; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review. The team moved more of the intended audience into meaningful use; confirmed with my mentor that my contribution was limited to the assigned support and validation work.
• The team prototyped and tested three identity-verification flows with 18 participants; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review. The team shortened the path from request to a usable result; confirmed with my mentor that my contribution was limited to the assigned support and validation work.
• Under supervision, owned an asset-search redesign using Figma wireframes and user research with 8 participants, increasing unassisted task completion from 5 to 7 in the follow-up prototype test.
• Under supervision, released an accessibility handoff for the Adobe asset-management workflow, using keyboard tests to resolve hidden focus, ambiguous selection and unreadable error states.

• In a mentor-reviewed simulation, used Figma prototyping to compare payment confirmation flows, including delayed and rejected transfers; tested whether participants understood the next action before committing to a screen design.
• As a second supervised exercise, specified interaction design for amount entry, validation, and recovery, documenting focus order and error placement; gave engineering state-by-state behavior rather than only polished Figma frames.
• Under supervision, the team defined interaction and content patterns for 26 form components; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review
• Created a self-directed design brief with a defined audience, content hierarchy and accessibility constraints; compared distinct visual directions using the same content rather than changing the message with each mockup.
• Checked the chosen design at its intended display or print size, annotated readability and contrast problems, and delivered editable source files with typography, color and export specifications.
• Owned the independent design review using actual-size proofs, resolved contrast and reading-order defects and completed an annotated before-and-after specification.

Relevant coursework: Typography, visual communication, interaction design, design research

• Published a personal design case study using the prototype test record, explaining how audience needs changed the hierarchy and documenting the accessibility limits of the final design.
