CollapseResponsibilities

As an intern at French design strategy consultancy Style-Vision, I researched and wrote a report on applying global consumer trends in the Brazilian market for a round table attended by blue-chip firms. While interning at Chmura Economics & Analytics, I evaluated the firm’s JobsEQ software for the college market, considering different user profiles and modifications in the user interface and content that could better meet their needs.
