"Abigail demonstrated exceptional artistic talent and a strong commitment to excellence during her internship. She successfully achieved her learning objectives by analyzing existing GUIs, conducting thorough research, and utilizing tools like Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud to develop an innovative and visually engaging interface. Her ability to transform ideas into high-fidelity prototypes, incorporating feedback from mentors and stakeholders, was impressive and showcased her meticulous attention to detail.
Abigail's strengths lie in her creativity, time management, and deep understanding of the visual experience. She demonstrated managing an end-to-end project working through the full-cycle UX/UI design experience, and she navigated it with confidence and initiative, delivering an intuitive, polished prototype and an insightful design process book. It was a pleasure to mentor Abigail and witness her growth throughout this project. Her independence, problem-solving abilities, and collaborative approach made her a standout contributor. I am confident she has a bright future in UX/UI design."
