UX Design Intern
June - August 2019 • Pittsburgh, PA
What I liked
I really enjoyed the design culture at DICK'S. I worked on a balanced product team with a PM and engineers, and they trusted and relied on us UX Designers to research and create designs that were best for users. I felt like my design decisions were valued and important in shaping our team's product.
What I wish was different
We completed an intern project alongside working with our regular teams, which was a great experience, but I wish the intern project I worked on was a little more organized, as all the interns had different schedules and expectations on how much work to put into the side project.
Advice
Make sure you have a car there or get close to someone with a car so you can explore more of downtown and don't get holed up in your room.
