4 person startup & team of international developers
Overview
I gained so much hands-on experience across the full design process; I touched every step from ideation to wireframing to working alongside the development team's implementation of designs.
Our rapid development cycle pushed me to iterate quickly, collect immediate feedback, and refine the product under tight deadlines. I saw direct impact of my design decisions and developed a strong sense of independence and authority over the design process and product.

ITERATIONS
During my time at GlucoSense, the products went through many, many design iterations. I touched every spect of the app's interface and experience, and made lots of large and small-scale changes to improve the user's experience with GlucoSense's products.

Takeaways
Because of the speed, autonomy, and variety of tasks I experienced during my year with GlucoSense, I gained so much more experience than could be summed up as a one-year long resume item. I was pushed to grow quickly, make independent and impactful decisions, and learn via action.
