Learning Experiences💡
1. Real-World Applications:
I gained insights into how designs translate into real-world products, focusing on both user impact and practicality.
2. TRIAD Meetings:
Collaborating with tech, research, development, and product teams offered me diverse perspectives. These sessions taught me how to align cross-functional efforts to solve complex problems..
3. Scoping the Project:
While designing for V.0.6, I learned the importance of considering timelines, technical feasibility, and business goals when implementing designs
4. Brand Vision Alignment:
Ensuring the design upheld Cisco's brand values and long-term vision was a critical part of the process.
5. Area of Interest
I loved working on this project because it involved emerging technology in an unexplored area. Tackling the unknown alongside multiple teams made it all the more rewarding!

Team Highlights 🎉
1. Trust and Responsibility
The team truly made me feel like one of them, entrusting me to lead TRIAD meetings from a designer's perspective and independently own a specific problem statement.
2. Cross-Functional Collaboration
Working with a cutting-edge team was an inspiring experience, especially during the one-of-a-kind team dinners!
3. Positive Feedback
Wrapping up with a lot of encouraging feedback during my intern recap was the cherry on top.
