Reflecting on my time at Expedia...
From hosting my first ideation workshop to proposing design solutions to 100+ designers across the company over the course of the summer, this internship pushed me in more ways that I could have imagined. With this exploratory of a project, there were several loose threads and next steps that I would have loved to have more time to continue exploring.
Address Technical Gaps
I had the opportunity to meet with the traveler engineering team to identify technical blockers early on in the ideation process. I would have loved to present my findings to them to get their insight on where best to prioritize preview implemention and what specific technical blockers might need to be considered at those stages.
Clearer Prioritization
While I did meet with several product managers throughout this exploration and got their insight that the review stage would provide the most business impact, I would have liked to seek and visualize more of these specific business leads to better communicate my reasoning for the proposed roadmap.
Validate Final Designs
Lastly, while I was able to create some quick mid-fi mockups for design proposals, I would have loved to develop a more fleshed out MVP preview to test with partners based on measurable desired outcomes.
