Internship Interaction Design Intern
Job Description
What will you be doing?
Interaction Designers are responsible for designing the behavior of interactive products, from overarching interaction models down to detailed micro-interactions. Interaction Designers create the core scaffolding and guidelines (architecture, user flows, navigation models, etc) that shape how people interact with products, and collaborate closely with Visual Designers and Design Technologists to bring these to life in the final product.
As an Interaction Design Intern, you will support teams on client-facing and internal projects. You will learn by doing, with guidance from experienced practitioners, who will help you understand and deliver the interaction design activities assigned to you, in the context of interdisciplinary projects.
Project teams rely on Interaction Designers to:
- Bridge the gap between research insights and tangible concepts
- Make sense of complex systems or large volumes of data and content and represent them in simplified models
- Refine concepts into meaningful narratives that speak to business opportunities, technical feasibility and organization set up
- Identify the right interaction patterns to apply in each context
- Collaborate fluidly with visual designers and developers
On a typical project you will support activities including:
- Understand the goals, business requirements and constraints for the project.
- Help to translate business requirements into user stories.
- Conduct secondary research, including trend benchmarking and competitor analysis.
- Create frameworks such as customer journeys, service blueprints or ecosystem maps based on inputs from research
- Define and prioritize opportunity areas and then translating them into concepts
- Design wireframes, user flow diagrams and application maps
- Create and test interactive prototypes
- Document interaction guidelines
- Prioritize MVP features and build a backlog
- Support the definition of roadmaps in collaboration with strategy and technology teams
