UX Design Intern
SAP Analytics Cloud — Augmented BI
Figma, Illustrator, Jira
Sept 2021 - Apr 2022
During the pandemic, I joined the Augmented BI team of SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC). I worked on high-priority features within the designer experience (aka "Stories") as a UX Designer.
Most notably, I designed for a major feature called Configurable View Time Toolbar, recently released in Q1 of 2023. I'm not able to disclose the remainder of my projects due to NDA. Feel free to reach out to learn more.
While working in multi-disciplinary teams, I learned to stand my ground to protect the interests of users and championed the best solutions forward. I also learned how to defend my design decisions while balancing between different stakeholder needs.
I love a perfectly aligned mockup as much as the next designer but there's a time and place for that level of detail. I identified the purpose & audience of my visual documents helped to tailor the level of fidelity needed when communicating to cross-functional partners.
I was lucky enough to be in an environment that supported my growth and career. It was incredibly inspiring to work alongside senior designers that have shown me the absolute diligence & care that goes into their respective craft.
Being a part of the SAP internship program, I wanted to contribute to the vibrancy of the community in some way. In the second month of my term, I was selected as one of the Communications Designers. I released bi-weekly newsletters to share iXp news (which we wittily called "WhatSAP") and created vector graphics for our video series to welcome the incoming cohort of interns.
The d-Shop is home to a variety of innovative side-projects headed by employees. I joined Murray Link because I was interested in learning about how design supports the healthcare & blockchain industries. The Murray Link project matches patients to suitable organ donations using a pan-Canada database, the Canadian Organ Replacement Register (CORR). As this project differed in nature from my regular work assignments, I was able to gain valuable UX skills while designing for a healthcare product.
