Abstract

Emilda Solutions is an IT solutions company that offers services such as Web

Development, App Development, Graphic Designing, Printing, Digital Marketing and
Hardware and Software Solutions. I am a part of the core team of the company and am the head
of the UX/UI Designing team in the company. I worked on several projects during my time at
the company with many active clients, even from abroad. My time at the company has helped
me create a clear vision for myself as well as understand where my interest lies. While working
with UX/UI Designing I was able to delve into it in details and learn the principles and
methodologies behind web and app deigning. I learnt Adobe XD and used it to develop designs.
I further went on to do Bootstrap boot camp and will be starting Front-end development in the
following days. While I was able to develop my skills with tools my main field of design can
only grow through inspiration and experience that is over time. I have plans to continue in the
field of design as a career.
Preface

In the following document I will be trying to include a report of all my learnings and
experiences in the company. Although my learnings were vast and my memory is vague I will
do my utmost to report every detail of my experience. The learning curve started with a tutorial
on how to use the tool Adobe XD in which I got a basic idea of what UX/UI designing was. I
then went on to do my first project, Christian Spot which was an app for devotional Christian
music. Following this I worked on projects such as Vaathiyar Academy, Fixepic, and Emilda.
I then did a tutorial on bootstrap and will be starting a project in that soon. During this time I
also finished a book on Design Principles by Invision. This booked helped me understand
design on a different level, and I was able to establish the principles in the design as well.

Chapter 1: Introduction

Emilda Solutions Pvt Ltd is company which was established this year by a group of
fourth year students from Christ University Faculty of Engineering. We work in remote due to
constraints of having an easily accessible office space for clients. We are located in Kanmanike,
Bengaluru and are currently trying to expand by trying to look through for incubation in
college. We are registered under the government and are a certified startup as well.

1.1 Background
Brand communication that goes straight to the heart goes the farthest. Consumers in
today’s age do not want to be told what to do. They want to be heard. Our strategy is simple:
We aim to make every opportunity count by unlocking multiple opportunities for you. Emilda
design agency offers professional graphic design services to its clients. Our clients come from
different and diverse industry verticals. We offer custom graphic design to suit your specific
business requirements.
The team at Emilda consists of five core members while the others are trainees and
interns. We provide services in six areas but mainly Web and App Development. We follow
working principles followed by the top companies and hence it gives us a cutting edge. Our
design process starting from documentation moves into UX/UI Designing, Development and
then testing. All the while going through feedback at every step. We work with cutting edge
technology, with Ionic, angular js, bootstrap and use Adobe XD for designing. Our trainees are
taught by us and they work and strive for great improvement here. We have clients based in
Netherlands among many.

Chapter 2: Internship

2.1 Work

2.1.1 Pre-Requisites
 Adobe XD
 Understanding of Material Design rules for Android Development
 Understanding of design principles and use of tool for developers ease.

2.1.2 Responsibilities
 Meet client’s demands and exceed expectations by developing products that self-
market. Each of my responsibilities revolved around this.
 Head of design team for company.
 Manage clients by ensuring constant follow-up and proper communication.

2.1.3 Challenges
 Experience in UX/UI Designing. As a designer experience is a very important need.
The more is your experience, the better is your design. In the first couple of weeks I
had a very slow start due to this very reason.
 Lack of personal. At certain points we were doing multiple projects at the same time
while trying to meet deadlines and this was a big challenge considering that all of us
were poor at management.
 Front-end development is huge challenge as it requires me learning bootstrap with basic
HTML/CSS knowledge. Moving ahead implementation without guidance was also a
challenge.
2.2 Learning Outcomes

It is really difficult to summarize my learning outcome in words. My time here has let
me obtain an irreplaceable skill and I will always be grateful to the company for that. When
people look at designs and when they see ‘how was that person able to come up with that’, I
have an answer to it. I strive to be the person that will be providing great designs to professional
developers. UX/UI Design is my cup of tea is what I realized during my time here and as I
spend more time in the field the more I am intrigued and interested to follow it more and learn
more from it. So as to summarize my learning outcome, I will put it points of the projects I was
involved in and what I learnt from each.

2.2.1 Christian Spot

This application was my very first and designing it gave me confidence to explore more
of the designing field.

 Use of Gradients.
 Use of curves in designs

and start designing.
Chapter 3: Conclusion

Working at Emilda has certainly been my greatest experience yet, speaking

academically. Through these two months I was able to learn so much more than my past couple
of years in college. To summarize, I was able to achieve a skill suited to me. I was able to
recognize my area which I like and am willing to spend my future in. I was able to work on an
industry level. The experience of working at such a level has indeed given me a huge boost.

3.1 Future Scope

There are a lot of things we are planning to achieve as a company in the coming years.
We will soon be releasing our own product through which we aim to get passive income. We
have a vision of starting e-grocery in tier 3 and tier 2 cities with methods that are unique to us.
We are also planning to approach for investment.

Personally speaking, I am looking to invest my time in UX/UI Design and gain valuable
experience. I am also planning to pursue higher studies in UX/UI Designing to grasp the core
concepts at a better level. I am looking to learn bootstrap from scratch as well and move into
front-end development so that its concepts can help me with improving my designs.
