Day 20: Design Revisions for Treasury Module

  🗓️ Date: 31 Oct 2025

📌 Title: Design Revisions for Treasury Module

Task Description

Today was my twentieth day of internship and also the last day of October. I was contacted by the IT/PD team regarding several updates to the Treasure module of the iFastPay back office project. The changes included removing all spending ranges, updating certain wordings, adding a “Reset All” button for better usability, and clarifying that the debiting sequence follows a maker-checker process. I also provided my opinion on a design decision regarding whether to separate a particular section into two tabs within the same page instead of compiling everything into a single page. Additionally, I worked on adding tooltips for certain technical jargons, such as BPS, to improve clarity for users. 

Challenges & Solutions

A challenge was adapting to multiple requirement changes while ensuring the design remained clear and user-friendly. To address this, I reviewed each update carefully, discussed the implications with the IT/PD team, and adjusted the design accordingly. Adding tooltips helped resolve potential user confusion without overcrowding the interface.

Key Learnings & Skills Gained

I learned that clear communication and collaborative brainstorming are crucial when working with cross-functional teams. This experience also showed me that design changes throughout a project are normal, especially when requirements evolve, and flexibility is an important skill for a designer.

Reflection & Next Steps

Day 20 reinforced the importance of being adaptable and open to feedback in a real-world project environment. Moving forward, I will continue refining the Treasure module designs based on updated requirements and remain proactive in discussions to ensure design decisions support both usability and technical needs.

Day 41: Brainstorming and Braincracking

  🗓️  Date:  29 Nov  2025 📌 Title:  Brainstorming and Braincracking Task Description I started the day by discussing the recent Cash ISA meeting outcomes with another IT team member who was on leave, updating him on the latest requirement changes. Following that, I brainstormed together with him and my SV on the new flow for Cash ISA Transfer-In, now that partial transfers also need to be supported. Initially, I was expecting Joanna to send over the updated flow for this change, but since it hadn’t come through, we decided not to wait and risk delaying the project timeline. Instead, we proactively moved forward by coming up with a proposed new flow ourselves. Given the uncertainty, we chose to create a wireframe in FigJam rather than jumping straight into high-fidelity mockups, as we wanted to avoid double work if changes were still needed. We then scheduled a meeting with Joanna at 6 PM to walk her through the proposed flow first, before presenting anything t...
