I conducted stakeholder interviews with product owners and developers, user interviews with Bosch employees, and analyzed the existing system to understand both user needs and technical limitations. I engaged with product owners and development teams to capture business requirements and constraints, and spoke with internal employees using the tools daily to identify pain points and workflows. Through system analysis, I mapped technical architecture and constraints to determine the feasibility of design solutions. Finally, I performed competitive analysis by reviewing other Bosch web applications to identify established patterns and best practices.

Based on research findings, I established design principles that balanced user needs with technical constraints while aligning with Bosch's Digital Design System.

Process

Solution

Before/During/After comparison: oracle system, first exemplary wireframe evolution, and final prototype screenshots.

Beyond the user data management interface, I redesigned 10+ Data admin screens with varying complexity levels—from simple data tables to complex hierarchical structures.

Approach

I conducted analysis by categorizing screens according to complexity levels and usage patterns to prioritize work effectively. I developed a component strategy by identifying reusable design patterns to maintain consistency and efficiency across the product. In visual design, I created contextual empty states and illustrations tailored to each screen context. Throughout the process, I collaborated closely with the development team to ensure technical feasibility of all design solutions.

Beyond management interfaces, I contributed to the visual language by creating custom iconography and empty state illustrations following Bosch brand guidelines.

What I Learned

During my internship, I gained valuable experience designing within the constraints of legacy systems. I learned to view limitations not as obstacles, but as opportunities for creative problem-solving that require systematic thinking and careful prioritization. Working closely with product owners and developers, I strengthened my ability to communicate design decisions clearly, handle feedback constructively, and find solutions that balance both user needs and business goals. Designing for complex enterprise software also taught me the importance of a structured approach: documenting information architecture, creating reusable components, and maintaining consistency across systems became essential parts of my workflow. Above all, I discovered the power of iterative design and testing; by testing early, learning quickly, and refining designs iteratively, I learned to embrace adaptability and responsiveness as central to creating impactful user experiences.

This internship showed me that meaningful UX work isn't about flashy interfaces. It's about understanding complex problems, working within real constraints, and making thoughtful decisions that improve people's daily work. Enterprise UX presents deeply interesting challenges with tangible impact.
