Self Assessment 1: With the UX internship starting there has been a lot of exposure in terms of practicing out each step on what actually UX is, basically putting all those online courses in actual practical use. Things I’ve learned: -UX Research and UI are two different horizons but go parallelly for building up a product with the user at the core -Empathizing with the user on the platform and understanding the crux problem by conducting various interviews -Making persona from those interviews (defining stage of the process) -Finally ideating the solution from the obstacles Achievement highlights: -Created the interview questions -Brainstormed with more possible tasks and question-based user interviews -Conducted and interviewed users -Made persona from the interviews -Created Team East Communication Channel Meetings: I have attended meetings and except that taken interviews on various google meet: 6/8, 6/11, 6/15 Goals for the week: Learn to create visual mockups on Figma Tasks I have Done: -I ideated the potential questions along with my teammate -Also, scheduled interviews and interviewed the user on the STEM-Away as I love interacting with people and understand their view about their journey (UX Journey) on the platform -Based on that, I proposed to make the persona from a resourceful site and that helped us to easily characterize the target user for the platform and I worked on creating the Technical Persona. -Later on, I made the Empathy Map and the Bull’s Eye Diagram along with a paper prototype as the solution. ---

Self Assessment 2: **Things I have learned:** -Team building and helping others get started with Figma -Importance of using Prototypes with constructive feedback -Bringing up little changes that can make a greater impact **Three Achievements:** -Made the low-fi prototype from the homepage to the messaging system -Made the hi-fi prototype and organized office hours to help the team build one easily -Presented the hi-fi model to the FS team as well **Meetings Attended:** 6/16 Team Meeting, 6/18(Figma Q&A as well as Team Meeting), 6/19 (Team Meeting),6/21(Team East Meeting for creating prototype), 6/23 (Team Meeting as well as UX&FS Team Alignment) **Goals for this week:** -Adopt changes to the hi-fi based on the reviews -Organize doubt session for hi-fi -Work on more features to incorporate to the current model **Tasks Done:** I attended all of our team meets and since I was familiar with Figma I helped my team to get familiar with the tool. I coordinated and scheduled “OPEN DOUBT SESSION” for my teammates regarding our Hi-fi fidelity prototype and also suggested an additional feature of “People to follow”. I also attended a sync meeting among UX and FS teams, which helped us receive feedback on our prototype and later on presented that to the team. ---
