Key Feature Design

What have I learned?

In my previous job, I often wore multiple hats, adapting quickly to changes and taking risks in product design. This taught me to be flexible and capable in tough situations and make decisions fast. However, when working in AXA, there are structured processes and layers of approval on the design. My experiences have taught me valuable skills in design, socialization planning, and team management, making me more mature and tactful. Here are my learning conclusions:


Balancing Encouragement and Skill Development Guidance

To ensure the team individuals feel supported in their growth while contributing effectively to the team, I have learnt that it is important to balance between motivation and leading their skill development.


Transparent Communication Between Teams while Clear Communication Within Teams

In AXA, I always work with teams instead of individuals. Therefore, transparent communication between teams could ensure organisational cohesion. Inside the team, clear internal communication could minimise misunderstandings and enhance efficiency.


UX design is not only for end users but also for people in my company

When doing digital product design, it's crucial to not only focus on creating the best interaction design but also to consider the impact of changes on the internal staff. Therefore, it's essential to tailor designs that meet the internal team's requirements, to minimize their workload and promote collaboration, thereby enhancing productivity and satisfaction.
