During my internship at Zuai, I had the opportunity to contribute to both the creative and user experience aspects of their product. Zuai, a community-focused platform with an innovative edge, gave me the chance to learn, collaborate, and grow in a dynamic environment.
My Role
Graphic Design for the Community:
I designed a variety of graphics tailored for Zuai’s community, ensuring they aligned with the brand’s identity while engaging and resonating with the audience. These visuals played a key role in fostering a strong connection between the platform and its users.Assisting with UX Testing:
