Project
In Summer and Fall 2020, I was a UX Engineering intern on Google's AR team (formerly known as Daydream). Although the nature of the project is still confidential, I can still talk generally about some of the skills that I used and the lessons that I learned. If you'd like to learn more, please reach out :-). If you're a Google employee, contact me.
Towards the end of my summer internship, my team extended my internship through a small program at Google that allows interns to continue working part-time while in university. So during the Fall semester of my senior year, I worked part-time (20% for a month, and then 50% for two months).
This was my first time working in a product-focused team. As part of the UX team, I worked closely with other UXers, but also interacted with PMs and software engineers to help investigate UX and research questions.

Thank you to my intern host Shiblee, who taught me so much about hardware UX, augmented reality, and more. He was an amazing manager! Also thank you to my co-host Wendy, an incredible designer and mentor.
