Day 46: It's getting pretty hectic guys-

  🗓️ Date: 8 Dec 2025

📌 Title: It's getting pretty hectic guys-

Task Description

Day 46 was focused on wrapping things up and aligning with stakeholders. I scheduled a meeting with the IT team for the Cash ISA project, as all amendments discussed last week needed to be completed by 3 PM. I managed to finish the required updates on time and walked IT through the changes during the meeting.

In parallel, the MY Stock IPO project was progressing well, but I still had a few uncertainties around the flow and logic. I raised these questions with my SV and gained a clearer understanding of the user journey and business intent. This was especially important as I’ll need to present the mockups to stakeholders next week, and fully understanding the product is crucial to confidently explain design decisions.

The meeting with IT went smoothly and efficiently. During the session, I also learned something new, how to generate and share developer links in Figma. My SV showed me how different mockup links can be created for different purposes, which will be useful for future collaboration with developers and stakeholders.

Challenges & Solutions

The main challenge was working against a tight deadline while preparing for an IT discussion. Staying focused and prioritising critical amendments helped me meet the 3 PM target. For the IPO project, proactively asking questions ensured gaps in understanding were addressed early rather than later.

Key Learnings & Skills Gained

I gained better clarity on the MY Stock IPO flow, strengthening my ability to present and defend the design. I also picked up a practical skill in Figma link sharing, understanding how different link types support different collaboration needs.

Reflection & Next Steps

Day 46 felt more grounded and rewarding after several intense days. Closing off Cash ISA amendments and clearing doubts on the IPO project gave me more confidence moving into next week’s stakeholder discussions. Next steps will be to prepare talking points and anticipate questions for upcoming presentations.

Day 6: Monday Chaos!

🗓️  Date:  13  Oct 2025 📌 Title:  Monday Chaos! Task Description In my second week of internship, I continued working on the  Fixed Deposit (FD)  and  Notice Deposit (ND)  UI enhancement project. My supervisor had provided several  comments and suggestions  based on last week’s progress, so my main task was to  review, refine, and amend the designs accordingly . The goal was to improve layout consistency, alignment, and overall visual clarity to ensure a more polished and user-friendly interface. During the week, our team also held a  weekly meeting  to update one another on current tasks and project timelines.

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...
