UI/UX Internship · Nnine Solution

During my three-month internship at Nnine Solution, I worked as a UI/UX Design Intern within the Web Design Department.

My work covered several real-world web projects, including:

Across these projects, I worked through different parts of the UI/UX process: research and visual exploration, information architecture, wireframing, high-fidelity design, prototyping, design systems, micro-interactions, usability checks, feedback, and developer handoff.

When I joined the internship, the design workflow was relatively informal. Previous work could move directly from an idea to high-fidelity screens, which made consistency and iteration harder.

There was also no shared design system or structured wireframing stage.

My internship objectives therefore became:

Because the internship lasted only three months, extensive user research and large-scale usability testing were outside the practical scope. Early decisions often relied on secondary research, design references, mentor feedback, and quick peer testing.

The training center website was my main individual project during the internship.

The goal was to refresh the experience across the landing page, course/cart section, online course pages, and payment flow, while making the interface more cohesive and easier to navigate.

My responsibilities covered the design process from initial exploration through prototype and handoff.

I started by reviewing the existing website, brand assets, and common patterns used by similar education and training platforms.

I also explored references on platforms such as Behance, Dribbble, and Wix to understand current patterns for:

The goal was not to copy existing patterns, but to identify familiar interaction models that could be adapted to the project.

Instead of immediately designing polished screens, I first explored the structure using low-fidelity wireframes.

Relume.io helped me quickly explore page structures, while Figma was used for the detailed interface and interactive prototype.

Early walkthroughs helped identify layout and navigation issues before visual polish was added.

One of the main areas I worked on was the course/cart experience.

The redesigned course presentation focused on making important information easier to scan, including:

The goal was to reduce visual clutter and create a clearer path from discovering a course → understanding it → taking action.

I also refined CTA placement and layout hierarchy based on mentor feedback and design reviews.

The payment page was designed as a focused part of the journey rather than another information-heavy page.

I used clearer hierarchy and progress feedback to help users understand where they were in the checkout process.

A simplified mental model guided the flow:

I also explored progress indicators and interaction states so the prototype communicated what happens after each action.

After the core interface was reviewed, I was asked to add micro-interactions to the online course section.

I explored interaction references and then designed lightweight animations in Figma.

Examples included:

The intention was not to add animation for decoration. Each interaction was used to provide feedback or make the interface feel more responsive.

The final animations were prepared for developer integration and reviewed before handoff.

For the college website, I worked as part of a two-person design team.

My responsibility was focused on the Notice and Blog sections.

We used the shared Figma component library to maintain visual consistency across the website.

The education consultancy website was another two-person project.

The team worked together on the overall sitemap, wireframes, high-fidelity designs, and design system.

My personal responsibility was designing these pages:

Each page was designed for both desktop and mobile.

For the consultancy website, I had to think beyond the desktop layout.

I adapted the same content hierarchy across different screen sizes by considering:

The goal was to preserve the hierarchy of the desktop design rather than simply shrinking it for mobile.

One of the most important contributions I made during the internship was establishing a shared Figma library.

The system included:

Instead of manually updating every screen, components allowed changes to propagate across designs.

For example, updating a button's hover state could update every instance using that component.

This made the work more consistent and reduced repetitive design work.

Design reviews were an important part of my workflow.

I regularly submitted designs to my mentor and teammates for feedback.

Typical feedback included:

I also ran quick peer usability checks on prototypes by asking users to complete simple tasks such as clicking CTAs and navigating between pages.

Their feedback helped me refine labels, button placement, and menu flow.

This was lightweight testing rather than formal research, but it helped catch obvious usability problems before handoff.

The internship also taught me that good UI design does not end with a Figma file.

For handoff, I prepared:

I also met with front-end developers to explain interactions and resolve implementation questions.

This feedback loop helped maintain visual and interaction fidelity.

Across the internship, my workflow gradually became more structured:

This was one of the biggest changes in my approach during the internship.

I stopped treating a UI screen as the final output and started treating it as one stage in a larger product-design process.

By the end of the internship, I had contributed to multiple real-world web projects and worked across different levels of the design process.

The internship had several practical constraints.

My internship at Nnine Solution was the point where UI/UX moved from something I was learning academically to something I was practicing in a professional environment.

I worked on real website projects, contributed to both individual and team-based work, created reusable components, designed responsive interfaces, prototyped interactions, tested flows, received professional feedback, and collaborated with developers.

The most important change was in how I approached design:

The internship gave me practical experience in taking a requirement, exploring the problem, structuring the experience, designing the interface, validating it through feedback, and preparing it for implementation.
