Overview of Adobe’s Student Athlete Micro-Internship
Help our team improve users' data understanding and interaction by shaping user-friendly products that instill trust and simplify data access and insights.
You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including product managers and engineers, to deliver solutions that improve the reporting and insight experience. Your work will involve crafting intuitive interfaces, conducting in-depth user research, and bringing important solutions to life through design and product development.
What you'll Do
- Have meaningful ownership. You'll make important decisions about the way our product looks, feels, and behaves.
- Critique and be critiqued. We value a positive personality who can give and take healthy feedback, encourage and develop the team's ideas, and generally leave ego out of it.
- Help drive the design process. From early vision concepts, to wireframes, to visual design and on to pixel-perfect delivery, our team does it all.
- Understand and advocate for our users. Work with researchers and product managers from customer discovery to detailed usability testing, always putting our users first.
- Grow. You'll sharpen your skills, take ownership of important aspects of the design, and help evolve our team as we continue to learn and tune our process.
- Collaborate. You'll be part of a communicative, healthy, product development family that includes products managers, engineers, researchers and other designers.
- Ship. We ship. You'll have multiple opportunities to bring the hypothetical to the actual and enjoy seeing your work in the hands of millions.
