Internship at
Designing for Impact in Sustainability
Work
During my internship at SustainLab, I contributed to the development of their SaaS Sustainability Management platform. My primary focus was the CSRD module on the platform, where I worked on improving user flows and integrating feedback from the tech and CX teams. I also took an active role in bridging gaps between design and development by interviewing developers to understand challenges and enhance collaboration.
My key contributions:
-
Worked on the CSRD module to refine user flows and improve the overall design experience- making complex sustainability data more accessible for users
-
Participated in User Acceptance Testing (UAT) as the designated design team rep for the CSRD module, ensuring that design solutions met the needs of end users
-
Conducted interviews with the development team to identify pain points and optimise cross-team communications
-
Reorganised the project file structure to enhance clarity and workflow efficiency
-
Contributed to the MVP design of the “Organization” feature, integrating organizational data into the core platform to streamline processes and enhance user experience.
Learnings
This fast-paced internship honed my problem-solving and collaboration skills, deepened my understanding of sustainability metrics, and enhanced my ability to align design systems with technical constraints.
While I cannot share the designs directly due to confidentiality, I encourage you to request a free demo on the SustainLab website to see the platform and experience the design first hand. :)
