At iFactory, I was able to dive headfirst into client work on the daily, creating design strategies, wireframing screens based on user personas, and prototyping responsive screens to ensure web accessibility and a seamless transition into development. Within my six months at iFactory, I was able to work on several projects that deepened my knowledge and skill as a full-stack product designer, including but not limited to:

• Prototyping using motion design & animation
• Designing responsive screens
• Documenting front-end specification for developers
• Wireframing screens using sitemaps and strategy reports
• Maintaining WCAG accessibility standards
• Conducting usability testing
• Creating user testing reports
• Developing comprehensive design systems
• Delivering client presentations
• Cross-functional team collaboration
• Front-end & accessibility QA

As someone with an interdisciplinary Computer Science and Design background, I wanted to learn more about the cross-communication between designing and developing.

How can I become a designer who thinks in code, and a programmer with a sharp eye for design? Luckily, I was able to explore these avenues through the projects I undertook while on co-op.
