Role and Contributions

As an Industrial Design intern at Atelier Maia, I played a pivotal role in driving the organisations success in the e-commerce success in the in the architecture sector. My responsibilities were multifaceted, encompassing creative and technical aspects. I partook in the brand redesign of our stoneware collection and e-commerce site. This involved creating a comprehensive proposal and collaborating with colleagues to tailor new themes based on user research. We improved site analytics and received positive feedback for enhancing the UX. I worked on front-end development for the website, becoming fluent in CSS and JavaScript. This allowed me to ensure a seamless transition of designs into the website, optimising structure, and UX. I collaborated with back-end developers which further expanded my skills in Ruby and Liquid. In my contributions for designing pieces, I used creativity and technical skills such as CAD and HCD. The implementation of new collection pages and personalised storytelling elements improved the online shopping platform and fostered a stronger emotional connection with our customers. In the architectural sector, I shadowed the CEO and chief Architect, gaining insights into project planning and system organisation. Through admin tasks and learnings, I contributed to the sectors efficiency and workings.
