KFC – YUM! Brands UX Internship Experience

During my time at KFC as a UX Design and Research Intern, I played a key role in improving digital touchpoints for millions of users. My contributions helped the KFC Digital Team earn the Baymard Institute’s Top 1% UX Recognition in the ‘Restaurant and Delivery’ category—an achievement that highlights our commitment to excellence in user experience.

One of my primary responsibilities was leading the development of a standardized case study template used across the brand. This initiative improved documentation and knowledge-sharing within the team, ensuring consistency in how research findings and design solutions were communicated. Additionally, I led an upsell and add-on initiative, analyzing user behavior to optimize in-app purchase flows, resulting in increased conversion rates.

My role also involved conducting extensive user research through in-depth interviews, surveys, and heuristic evaluations. By evaluating competitor digital platforms and identifying key areas for improvement, I helped shape data-driven design decisions that enhanced KFC’s digital presence. These experiences strengthened my ability to synthesize user feedback, translate insights into actionable recommendations, and advocate for user needs in the design process.

My Design Process

User Research & Data-Driven

User research is at the core of my design process. I believe that every great product begins with a deep understanding of user needs, pain points, and behaviors. I have experience designing and conducting usability tests, user interviews, and surveys using tools like Qualtrics and SPSS Statistics. By analyzing qualitative and quantitative data, I uncover valuable insights that drive design decisions and improve overall user satisfaction.

UI/UX Design & Prototyping

My design process begins with wireframing and prototyping, ensuring that concepts are tested and refined before development. Using Figma, I create low- and high-fidelity prototypes that allow for interactive testing and stakeholder feedback. I emphasize usability, consistency, and accessibility, ensuring that designs cater to diverse user needs.

My goal is always to strike the right balance between aesthetics and functionality, ensuring that users can navigate digital products effortlessly.

Marketing & UX Synergy

With a background in social media marketing, I understand how UX and marketing intersect to create engaging user experiences. A well-designed interface not only improves usability but also contributes to brand perception and customer retention. My knowledge of user psychology and digital marketing enables me to create designs that are both visually appealing and strategically optimized for engagement.
