This project involved designing an AI-driven interface for a corporate team. The process required close collaboration with stakeholders to gather requirements and ensure a user-friendly experience.

I led the design and front-end development, using various tools for prototyping and coding the interface. I worked through challenges related to creating a responsive and intuitive design that aligned with complex organizational needs.

Key Takeaways and Learnings

This project deepened my understanding of designing and developing for specialized corporate users. One of my key takeaways was learning how to gather stakeholder input and translate complex underwriting policy requirements into an intuitive and functional user experience.

In addition to designing the interface, I contributed to coding the backend, which gave me valuable exposure to full-stack development. This helped me strengthen my technical skills and understand the importance of aligning the front-end design with backend functionality for seamless user interactions.

I also learned to be flexible and quick in adapting to changes, particularly when iterating between design and development using Figma, Python, and Streamlit. Balancing user-centered design principles with both front-end and backend constraints honed my problem-solving skills and reinforced the importance of cross-functional collaboration.
