General Review - Junior UI/User Experience Designer Studio Fra Employee Review

My expectations before joining Studio Fra were to explore the different types of style that would enhance my sense of design. Started of slowly as I was getting to know the industry standards but as we progressed so did my work and my learning. I understood my learnings in Graphic Designing but through a different perspective while interacting with my senior and co-worker. I developed a better understanding towards my end users and their goals and thus helping me better my design process. There’s a sense of open-mindedness in our discussion. The brand values of Studio Fra are: personalized, professionally crafted, attention to detail, research based. The aspects I like are: the process that we follow while designing solutions, understanding the relevant trends. The place work is: amazing, which provides you with a clear head-space as it is very spacious, aesthetically pleasing. The activities that they organize gives you a good break to clear your mental block

Can't think of any as of now.

I had a lot of opportunities for being involved in redesigning better UX for different clients, designing products from scratch; redesigning websites and applications, etc. A lot of work revolved around in-house projects, fostering a lot of space for creative explorations. StudioFra is invested in a user centred design (UCD) process that has been laid down by IDEO. It is very conscious of this process and stitches it to all the projects. StudioFra also conducts design sprints as a way to keep abreast with the clarity in each phase of the design process. StudioFra keeps updating its outlook on design with the emerging trends in the field and doesn’t let itself leave behind the track.he founder, Jeevan is a very well organised person and is quiet delightful to converse with as you get to know him better. Jeevan is quiet conscious about his employees and tries to keep them at ease. There are days where we all go for a walk in the park, just to talk about what is happening in each others life, or about design or about how everyone perceives the world, what they are most concerned and motivated about. It was for sure, a delightful experience for a person like me. StudioFra strives to aim at the future. Even though the company is small, its vision is way bigger than itself. It believes in designing for the future. It believes in working on projects the hold a lot of meaning; to bring solutions to difficult problems, to design products that foster the habit of learning. It believes in simplicity and to stand apart from the crowd. The best aspects of the internship was the meaningful conversation I had with my mentor and the wonderful yet amazing workspace provided. The work culture is a very relaxed one, which lets you know that the employee’s personal life is given equal importance.

The initial days at the office seem a bit disoriented as you feel that the work structure seems to be unorganised. The founder, Jeevan seems to be a pretty reserved guy and feels less interactive. But both these start to change after a while as clarity starts to improve with respect to work culture and as Jeevan gets to know you better.
