Internship Summary
My time at Autodesk as an Experience Design (XD) Intern in the Product Data team
The Product Data Team was planning on designing a centralized Data Hub platform which would address all data needs of their customers. But before designing, the team wanted me to find the right stakeholders for this platform and their needs & challenges so that they can build Data Hub from a user-centered perspective. I helped them accomplish this by delivering an organized framework of key stakeholders, personas and pain points.
My project is under a NDA. This case study showcases a brief overview of my contribution and learnings at Autodesk.

Key Lessons
This summer of 2023 was an amazing experience for me. At the end of internship, I am certain that I have better understanding of the UX design process.
The skill of FACILITATION
01
I learned a powerful skill: Facilitation. Think of it as the art of steering a productive conversation. This not only made our UX sessions awesome but also made our team gel like a superhero squad.
Every meeting has a COST
02
It's like each meeting's got its own price tag, and it's not just about dollars. The minutes we all gather during a team meeting, they're precious coins of everyone's time jingling in. It was like a lightbulb moment – realizing that every second counts, literally. This outlook didn't just make me productive; it made me a keeper of everyone's valuable time.
The Magic of Working Together: COLLABORATION
03
Collaboration became my secret sauce. During my conversations with Product managers, XD members, UX architects and UX researchers I learned how to look at a problem from different viewpoints while having a common objective in mind.
