How I Landed My First UX Design Internship

Here's how I went from having no idea what UX was to landing my first internship as a UX/product designer in FOUR months!

Hello my friends! 🌱

From coding my own design portfolio to the co-op interview process, today I'm sharing everything I did to get my first internship as a Product Designer with the Ontario Digital Service ✏

Please note that though I refer to my role as an internship, it was TECHNICALLY a 4-month co-op role, while is different from the Ontario Internship Program.

A special thanks to Emily Louie for letting me feature her portfolio website (linked down below) ✨

If you have questions or video ideas, please drop them down below in a comment! Reading your comments is honestly my favourite part of doing youtube hehe 🥰

ALSO, I'm definitely gonna try to be more consistent with uploading 😤 I actually filmed this video in Aug 2021, but I just finished editing it yesterday... Stay tuned for more vids to come + thank you for all of your support and patience 💗 Y'all really mean the world to me~

See you soon! 🌷

xoxo,
floguo
