Testimonials
Rhiannon Osborne-Tonner is at UCL studying Natural Sciences focusing on genetics, mathematics and statistics. She spent one month on Start Me Up’s Startup Internship Program in Bali.
“I was responsible for the design and UX of the app. So going from the idea to exactly what we want the app to look like. And more recently, I’ve been developing a static landing page for people to download the app from.”
I started developing the front end of the product. This involved user experience design and content strategy.
I’ve learned how to map a user’s journey through an online service, how to transform a user’s pains and gains into useful ideas and how to design a sitemap. I’m also learning about content strategy and architecture, how you display content and organize it.
Being in Bali has been a very special experience that I couldn’t have found alone.
As part of my internship with a Dutch fintech startup I got the chance to learn about UX design which I’d never done before and always wanted to do which was really great.
Working with my startup mentor, I got the chance to use popular UX tools like Sketch to design and build landing pages.
