This summer, I joined Bosch as a UX/UI intern in the GS/BDU department, supporting digital transformation initiatives to meet internal digitalization requirements. My work focused on various internal departments, including logistics, finance, and HR.
I contributed to four major projects involving user research, interface design, and strategic planning. It was my first experience working in a global context. This role provided valuable insights and growth in both design and digital strategy.
My contributions
User Research:
User Interviews: I coordinated 19 user interviews across the APAC region, documenting insights and synthesizing key findings into actionable deliverables for our clients.
Data Visualization: I led an internal survey report, analyzing results and transforming data into clear, impactful visuals to highlight key insights.
Design Strategy：
Analyzed user feedback to identify needs, highlight potential enhancements under current strategic structure, and develop basic framework of action plans.
Interface Design:
Designed user interface prototypes for internal users across two projects: a fixed asset management platform and an AI research tool platform for UX designers.
Service Design:
Delivered a service package for internal users’ light digitalization needs, including checklists, training videos and a simplified design system.
The Dashboard is a prototype I designed for the fixed asset management system. This is a sample demonstration only, as the NDA prevents me from sharing the full project outside of Bosch.
Overall
My time at Bosch has been an amazing journey. I had the chance to try different areas and apply the skills I learned at school, and it was wonderful to see my ideas come to life. I want to give special thanks to my mentor, Fang Jie, who was very supportive and gave me the freedom to explore different possibilities. She respected my opinions, and together we achieved something great—a 4.7/5 satisfaction rating from our clients.
The APAC team was also incredible. Working with Ha from Vietnam on the OKR project taught me a lot; she is a very skilled UX specialist. And although I haven’t met my colleagues from EMEA and AMER in person, our regular online meetings made me feel very connected to them. I will always remember this experience.
