Day 50: Long Meeting, Graphic Update

  🗓️ Date: 11 Dec 2025

📌 Title: Long Meeting, Graphic Update

Task Description

Day 50 was a mix of deep discussion and detailed design work.

In the morning, I had a meeting with the Settlement team at 10 AM, picking up where we left off a few days ago. The discussion ran until 1 PM, making it a long session but necessary to align on the remaining settlement module details.

After the meeting, I continued working on the Cash ISA project, focusing on reviewing and applying comments from the Business User on the mockup. Most of the feedback for the web version was about graphics, particularly improving the phone screen visuals with the latest UI and adding the Transfer In banner.

To complete this, I reached out to a colleague who previously worked on the Cash ISA project to retrieve the graphic assets to update them so the mockups can reflect the most recent design.

My SV also advised me on icon formats, recommending we use SVG. This is because SVGs are vector-based, meaning they remain sharp at any size and have smaller file sizes, which improves performance and clarity.

Challenges & Solutions

The main challenge was managing a long meeting and then switching back into design mode, especially when the feedback required updated assets rather than simple text changes. To solve this, I focused on identifying what needed updating and quickly reached out to the right colleague to get the assets.

Key Learnings & Skills Gained

I learned more about the importance of graphic consistency in mockups and the value of using SVG icons for cleaner, more scalable visuals. I also practiced shifting gears from long alignment meetings back into detailed design work.

Reflection & Next Steps

Day 50 was productive, despite the long meeting. The next step is to update the Cash ISA mockups with the new graphic assets and continue refining the UI based on BU feedback. I also need to keep tracking any further comments and ensure the design stays consistent with the latest visual standards.

Day 1: Getting Started at iFAST!

🗓️ Date:   6 Oct 2025 📌 Title:  Getting started at iFAST! Task Description Today marked my first day of internship at the company. The day began with a newcomer briefing where I was introduced to the company, its structure, rules, and employee benefits by 3 HR staffs. Following that, I set up my Face ID for office access and went on an office tour to get familiar with the workspace. Before getting assigned to my desk, I was given a work laptop and asked to set it up, which included configuring my Outlook email, accessing the company intranet, and setting up iFast chat for communication.

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...
