• Iterate on designs based on feedback, data, and usability findings

• Present your work and design rationale to teammates and stakeholders with guidance from mentors

Our Expectations

• Currently pursuing a degree in UX Design, Graphic Design, Psychology, or a related field

• A willingness to learn, ask questions, and take feedback constructively

Nice to Have

• Understanding of accessibility and inclusive design principles

• Experience working on real-world or team-based projects

• Basic familiarity with front-end concepts (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) is a plus, but not required

What You’ll Gain

• Real-world experience working on a large-scale SaaS platform

• Mentorship from experienced UX designers and researchers

• Exposure to enterprise product design and design systems

• Opportunities to present your work and build your portfolio

• A deeper understanding of designing for employee experience and workplace culture
