REFLECTION

Learnings

01 Break down complex spaces with patterns

Diving into a space that had already been extensively researched made onboarding challenging. By taking time to connect with different teams, review prior research, and build on those with my own findings, I was able to push the work forward and bring it to its next stage.

02 It's okay to pivot

In an ambiguous space with many stakeholders, I learned how to handle shifting focus in order to align with evolving business needs. While the pivot felt challenging with the time constraints, it ultimately led to a stronger outcome and a successful final result.

03 Empower design decisions with system-wide level thinking

My strengths as a designer grew as I involved myself in cross-functional teams and processes. Understanding the broader ecosystem and how different products connect helped me strengthen my ability to make design decisions that were cohesive yet impactful at scale.
