Internship UI Designer resume example

• Under supervision, defined Figma component variants for loading, empty and error states, checked contrast and keyboard focus, and compared the implemented screens against the design specification.
• The team audited 74 product screens and consolidated 11 inconsistent control patterns; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review. The team removed a recurring quality failure from the reviewed workflow; confirmed with my mentor that my contribution was limited to the assigned support and validation work.
• The team specified responsive, loading, empty, error, and focus states for 28 components; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review. The team reduced avoidable rework in the next operating cycle; confirmed with my mentor that my contribution was limited to the assigned support and validation work.
• Under supervision, built an interactive prototype for connected-device setup, tested pairing failures and recovery prompts with users, and revised the interaction sequence before the companion-app implementation.
• Under supervision, designed a layout review using usability tasks and brand-identity constraints, resolved inconsistent interactive states and completed an annotated accessibility handoff.
• Under supervision, built a high-fidelity prototype and interactive demo of a device recovery flow, mapped each screen to its changing requirements, and tested interrupted setup and voice-interaction feedback before handing the specification to software development.
• Under supervision, owned a high-fidelity prototype using React Native interaction tests, resolved ambiguous voice-interaction states and completed an engineering handoff with explicit requirements.
• Under supervision, published interactive demos using consistent visual tokens, reduced implementation clarification requests by 27% and retained examples of loading, error and cancellation behavior.

• In a mentor-reviewed simulation, built Figma components for a design system with documented states, spacing, and typography; checked long labels and validation errors so teams could reuse the component without inventing missing behavior.
• As a second supervised exercise, reviewed interaction design and accessibility with keyboard-only navigation, visible focus, and error announcements; paired with engineering to fix differences between Figma specifications and rendered components.
• Under supervision, the team rebuilt color tokens against rendered contrast and semantic use; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review
• Created a self-directed design brief with a defined audience, content hierarchy and accessibility constraints; compared distinct visual directions using the same content rather than changing the message with each mockup.
• Checked the chosen design at its intended display or print size, annotated readability and contrast problems, and delivered editable source files with typography, color and export specifications.
• Owned the independent design review using actual-size proofs, resolved contrast and reading-order defects and completed an annotated before-and-after specification.

Relevant coursework: Typography, visual communication, interaction design, design research

• Published a personal design case study using the prototype test record, explaining how audience needs changed the hierarchy and documenting the accessibility limits of the final design.
