During my seven-week UX design internship at WeWire, one of the leading global B2B payments provider, I worked with the engineering team and gained an understanding of WeWire's innovative products, including Invoicing for Businesses, Multi-Currency Wallets, Cross border payments and API structures utilized in their development processes.
I further developed my UX design skills by conducting a thorough review of popular apps like Bolt, Instagram, and YouTube Music, assessing their adherence to UX design principles, where I documented my findings in a LinkedIn post: Assessing UX Effectiveness in Adherence to UX . I gained a comprehensive understanding of colour theory, including the practical application of the 60-30-10 rule and the impact of colour psychology on user engagement.
Through hands-on experience with Figma, I successfully replicated the design of WeWire's virtual cards page and created an invoice landing page.
Additionally, I applied the design thinking process to develop a solution that helps travelers to quickly and easily find the right path to their airport gate. You can find a link to my design process and proposed solution here. Regular participation in team meetings provided invaluable exposure to WeWire's professional environment and the expertise of its employees.
I sincerely thank Ebenezer Ghanney, CEO of WeWire, for this enriching opportunity. I am also deeply grateful to Desmond Nyamador, CTO, and his team for their unwavering support and the numerous opportunities they provided to hone my UX design skills. I especially thank my mentor, Ebi-Yaa Kwaw, whose guidance was instrumental throughout my time at WeWire.
The collaborative and supportive environment at WeWire fostered a transformative learning experience. I am incredibly thankful for the willingness of everyone I interacted with to share their knowledge and expertise. This internship has solidified my career path and equipped me with the skills and knowledge to thrive in the design and tech industries.
