Day 62: New Office, New Year

🗓️ Date: 2 Jan 2026

📌 Title: New Office, New Year

Task Description

Day 62 marked a fresh start with a new office move. New year, new space, but the same work momentum.

I completed the first draft of the Scan & Pay campaign mockups and sent it to the Marketing Manager for review. Later, I continued working on the Business Banking web revamp, focusing on aligning the design with the current brand style, while also introducing new visual elements to improve the interface. The challenge was balancing consistency with innovation, keeping the existing look and feel while refreshing the experience.

It was also my fellow intern’s last day, but unfortunately I was feeling sick and couldn’t fully show my usual enthusiasm or properly celebrate her farewell.

Challenges & Solutions

The main challenge was balancing creative work with being under the weather. Despite not feeling well, I still pushed through and delivered the first draft for Scan & Pay, which was important for meeting the project timeline.

Another challenge was maintaining a balance between existing brand style and new design direction for the web revamp. I tried to stay aligned with the current system while introducing fresh improvements.

Key Learnings & Skills Gained

I learned how to stay productive even when not at 100% health, and how to push through to deliver important milestones. I also gained experience in creating a first draft for a marketing campaign and balancing brand consistency with innovation in design.

Reflection & Next Steps

Day 62 felt like a fresh restart, new office and new momentum. Next steps include waiting for feedback on the Scan & Pay draft and continuing to refine the Business Banking Web revamp direction based on stakeholders expectations.

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...
