My year at ProDT as a UX/UI designer has been an enriching and transformative experience that has propelled me forward both professionally and personally. Working alongside a dynamic team on a diverse range of projects has not only sharpened my design skills but also instilled in me greater confidence and well-roundedness as a designer.

Mastering the Art of Decks and Brochures

One of the most significant learning experiences at ProDT has been mastering the art of creating compelling decks and brochures. I've had the opportunity to work on numerous projects involving these materials, and what makes this experience truly special is that it extends beyond design. I've also delved into conducting research to ensure that these assets are effective and impactful. This holistic approach has given me a deeper understanding of the role that decks and brochures play in communicating complex ideas and driving business outcomes.

Harnessing the Power of Agile

ProDT's daily scrum and agile project management structure have been instrumental in streamlining our workflows and enhancing team collaboration. The structured approach has not only boosted productivity but also improved communication and adaptability to changing project requirements. This has enabled us to deliver results efficiently and effectively, meeting client expectations and exceeding goals.

Motivation and Inspiration in a Thriving Environment

ProDT's regular hangout calls and vibrant working environment have been a constant source of motivation and inspiration. These interactions have fostered connections with fellow team members, enabling us to share ideas, seek feedback, and learn from each other's experiences. This open and collaborative environment has not only enhanced my social skills but also expanded my professional network, opening doors to new opportunities and perspectives.

Personal Growth Beyond Design

Beyond professional development, this journey has stretched my personal limits and encouraged me to step outside my comfort zone. I've had the opportunity to work on projects that I might not have encountered elsewhere, pushing me to adapt and learn new skills along the way. This willingness to embrace challenges has boosted my self-confidence and instilled in me a greater openness to learning new things. Additionally, I've honed my time management and organizational skills, enabling me to handle multiple projects simultaneously and meet deadlines consistently.

Notable Projects: Lens Catalogue and EdTech

The journey began with my first client project, the Lens Catalogue. It was a challenging yet exciting opportunity, and with the guidance of my product owner, I successfully completed the project in record time. This experience not only boosted my confidence but also laid the foundation for what was to come.

The EdTech project was a turning point. It introduced me to the world of AI and its applications in design. I used AI to generate results, design a user-friendly interface, and enhance the overall user experience. Seeing the client's satisfaction with the final product was incredibly rewarding and motivated me to delve deeper into this field.

AI-enabled Travel Project and the Role of Mentorship

Currently, I'm working on an AI-enabled travel project, where Manas, my manager, has played a crucial role in my journey. His guidance, support, and unwavering belief in my potential have pushed me to explore and excel in this domain. His mentorship has been invaluable in my growth as a designer.

ProDT's Impact: A Nurturing Environment for Growth

My time with ProDT, guided by Sanjeev, Manas, and my colleagues, has been a transformative phase. It's within this supportive environment that I've honed my skills, learned new techniques, and evolved into a better designer. ProDT not only expanded my knowledge but also provided a nurturing space for personal and professional growth.

Conclusion: A Journey of Perseverance and Continuous Learning

My transformation journey has been a testament to the power of learning, mentorship, and perseverance. From my very first project to my aspirations of becoming a UX researcher, I'm grateful for the experiences, people, and opportunities that have paved the way for my career growth. This journey is far from over, and I'm excited to see where it will take me next.
