During a summer internship at Statsig, a Product Design Intern worked on various projects, including a New User Experience (NUX) initiative, to understand and improve the product from developers' perspectives, emphasizing the iterative and collaborative nature of design involving product managers, engineers, and other stakeholders. The intern highlighted the importance of design critique sessions, where cross-functional teams align on project directions and navigate the non-linear design process while balancing creativity with consistent frameworks. The internship underscored the value of building personal connections within the company, participating in team-building activities, and maintaining open communication for effective design progress. Additionally, the intern reflected on the significance of creating a strong experimentation culture, learning from failures, and leveraging methodologies like CUPED for efficient A/B testing.
