What I Learned
What I Learned
ThankUPet provided me with the experience of working with developers and leading team meetings on my own for the first time. Through such experiences, I learned the importance of proper communication in a team environment. For example, whenever I provided feedback on the developed screens, the developers had to ask questions about some of my comments they did not understand. This gave me the realization that something clear from a designer's point of view may not be as clear for a developer or anyone else on the product development team.
