About My Role

Enhance Mental Health Support

Heuristic Evaluation

Assisted in developing an 'Experience Dictionary' project, using heuristic evaluation to pinpoint potential UX enhancements. This initiative helped streamline the design process and focus on areas with the highest impact.

User Research & Usability Testing

Conducted in-depth research and usability testing to understand user needs and behaviors. My findings contributed to informed UI/UX decisions, enhancing user engagement with local services on the platform.

Learning and Outcomes

My intern at ByteDance was an invaluable learning experience where I not only improved my UX design skills but also understood the impact of data-driven design in a fast-paced, innovative environment. The successful implementation of the AI model and contributions to the Experience Dictionary project are testaments to the collaborative and dynamic nature of the team at ByteDance.
