Overview
In 2020, I sought a UI design internship at Baidu.com, China's largest search engine. As part of the application process, I was given a 24-hour design challenge to create a fictional lifestyle-sharing app. My successful completion of this challenge helped me advance to the final round of the interview process and ultimately resulted in a job offer. Although I was unable to intern at Baidu due to a legal issue with my student identity, the design challenge validated my skills and gave me a significant confidence boost.
