Reflection

What is Tencent and Tencent Map?

Tencent was my first internship at a major tech company, and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to get in touch with the real industry. I joined the Tencent Maps team, which is a crucial part of Tencent's services and support structure.

What is my role?

My role was experience designer, primarily responsible for mobility and navigation features.

During my time here, I learned how to innovate and create within an established design system, while providing the team with feedback on interaction issues in the design, thus enhancing the user experience of Tencent Maps. I also analyzed relevant data like UV, and PV, and made design adjustments based on user feedback. Additionally, I improved my communication skills with the product and R&D departments, offering feedback from a designer's perspective.
