As a Result...
Being a UX design intern at Twine, I've gained an abundant amount of experience on this mini project. I learned to adapt to the fast-paced momentum, being given 4 weeks to complete the project and develop key communication skills through constant updates to the founder, lead designers, and engineers throughout the entire design process.
Background
A UI/UX design intern for a one-month project to create a compatibility feature ("Relationship Roast") on a social matching app. Conducted various user interviews to discover how users react to certain phrases and user navigation of the compatibility evaluation feature. Utilized these research findings to ideate possible user flows, paper / low fidelity wireframes, to ultimately a fully functioning prototype for handoff.

Paper Wireframing
Outlined the project scope and drew out user flows of initial thoughts on how the compatibility evaluation should be presented.
Low-fidelity Wireframing
After discussing with the senior UX designer and the engineering team, create a Figma low-fi prototype with basic features and text hooks.
User Research
Conducted estimated 15+ user tests and interviews allowing users to interact with low-fi prototype, testing app's navigation and text hooks.
Affinity Mapping
Organized user test results into categories on each part of the user flows: Hook, Symptoms, Action Items, Scale, and Sharing. Also noted common reactions and comments to further refine the design.
Prototyping / High-fis
Applied feedback within the affinity map to the high-fidelity prototype. Collaborated with the senior UX designer to implement a consistent color palette, text, and overall design of the feature.
Handoff
Wrote additional notes on the feature's navigation and step-by-step instructions about the user flow to communicate to engineers.
Project Scope
Investigated which hooks captivated users to proceed in the app's compatibility evaluation and what user flows were most convenient.
