Background

Last summer, I interned as a UI/UX Designer with the Trust Experience Team, part of Autodesk’s Trust Organization.

What I worked on

During my 12-week internship, I collaborated closely with my manager and mentor on 2 major internal platforms:

Trust Org’s Documentation Management Tool

It’s an essential tool that used daily by more than 190 Autodesk employees in the Trust Organization.

Trust Org’s Portal Website

It’s accessible for all 17,000+ Autodesk employees to find any resources and support they need from the Trust Organization.

What I achieved

For Trust Internal Teams

📈 Enabled more efficient workflows and more effective collaboration for both documentation creators and readers

What others say

It's hard to put into words just how creative, talented, dedicated, and refined Sylvia is. Everything she created while interning at Autodesk was of the highest quality, was well thought out, kept the end user in mind, was consistent, imaginative, and absolutely beautiful. In the few months I had the honor of being her mentor, she designed awareness campaigns for a global audience of over 17k employees, and crafted designs to amplify and solidify the Trust (cybersecurity) Organization's brand and information architecture, all while creating a cohesive UX and intuitive UI. She left a lasting impression and set us up for continued to success.

But how do you capture the UX/UI design talents of someone like Sylvia through a written recommendation? If only I could show you. . . or better yet, she could show you herself as the next incredible addition to anyone's team.
