Building HosTalky's Digital Presence
In 2021, I joined HosTalky as a UX design co-op from May to September. HosTalky is a healthcare startup focused on developing an all-in-one app to support healthcare workers' daily tasks.
As the sole designer on the team, I was responsible for creating company website to promote HosTalky as the app was about to launch. By the end of my co-op, I was offered a part-time position.

Challenges and Growth as a Sole Designer
This was my first UX design co-op, and being the sole designer on the team came with both challenges and valuable learning experiences.
Seeking Mentorship
Without other designers for feedback, I actively sought advice from the design community. One of the best pieces of advice I received was to focus on making the best decision at the moment and adjust based on user feedback post-launch. This perspective helped me navigate uncertainty and make confident design choices.

Project Planning
With broad tasks assigned by the co-founder, I learned to break down the project of designing the company website into manageable tasks. This included conducting interviews with the co-founder and marketing team, researching the actual app, analyzing competitors, etc. This approach ensured systematic progress and successful completion.

This experience not only honed my design skills but also taught me the importance of self-reliance, effective planning, and seeking external mentorship.
