Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I create majority of the assets for the Disney.xx websites. I also do quite a bit of UX design with the US teams. This involves research and looking for inspiration from competitors; designing and developing wireframes.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes a lot of responsibility. I didn't feel like an intern at all. I was given a lot of responsibility within my first few weeks at Disney.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
