This past summer, I was apart of TikTok’s User Experience Design team based in Los Angeles. I worked on improving their internal design systems, ultimately making 80+ changes scaling across the entire UX design discipline and presenting my findings to my team. I also worked on writing content for TikTok Creator Marketplace’s SparkAds, Paid Content, and Search + Filtering features, as well as worked on email campaigns to boost new user retention.

As a TikTok creator myself, I was so excited to be apart of TikTok’s design team and to learn how design is used to facilitate user experiences like my own. I learned so much from talented designers, PMs, engineers, and everyone else I got to connect with during my internship.
