Takeaway
The experience in Midea made me hold an insistent faith on become a Ux Designer. It was the excited when I witnessed my design shipped to the market and impacted millions of users.
01 Close the Knowledge Gap
Before joining Midea, my understanding of the IoT industry was minimal. However, upon being assigned my first project on day one, I proactively sought insights from colleagues across various departments, including developers, product managers, and UX Researchers. Through engaging discussions with team members, I bridged my knowledge gap within the initial week.
02 Grew in a Fast Pace Environment
At Midea, the fast-paced environment threw me into the deep end, especially with a project that had to hit the market in just two months. This left me with just two weeks for prototyping, user testing, and making changes. This period was immensely pressure-filled, but looking back, I can't believe how much I learned and grew in those crazy two weeks.
