Icon Design for Massage chair’s Remote controller
Enhancing the visibility and experience of the newly added screen in Ceragem M4 massage chair
As I reflect on my time interning at Citrus Design, it's hard not to feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. Diving into the world of UI design for massage chairs was both enlightening and intriguing, offering me a unique blend of challenges and learning opportunities. It was here, amidst the creative chaos, that I found myself contributing to the design of icons that would eventually become part of the user interface for a new line of massage chairs.
From day one, the atmosphere at Citrus Design was electric with creativity. Surrounded by a team of talented designers and engineers, I was immediately drawn into the process of conceptualizing and creating icons that were not only visually appealing but also intuitive for users. The task at hand was to design icons that could seamlessly integrate into the massage chair's user interface, enhancing the overall user experience. It was a task that demanded both creativity and technical precision, and I was up for the challenge.
The design process was a collaborative endeavor, with feedback loops and brainstorming sessions that pushed me to think outside the box. Each icon went through multiple iterations, evolving from rough sketches to polished designs. It was a process marked by moments of frustration and breakthroughs, each step bringing me closer to the final product.
The highlight of my internship came when some of my designs were selected for future use in the massage chairs. The feeling of seeing my work recognized and appreciated was indescribable, a validation of my efforts and a testament to the skills I had honed during my time at Citrus Design. It was a moment of personal and professional growth, a milestone that marked my journey from a novice intern to a contributing member of the design team.
Looking back, my internship at Citrus Design was more than just a learning experience; it was a journey of self-discovery. It taught me the value of persistence, the importance of collaboration, and the beauty of turning abstract ideas into tangible realities. As I move forward in my career, I carry with me the lessons learned and the memories made, grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the world of UI design in such a meaningful way.
