Back in July, I approached Maree Beare for coffee and asked if she would consider me for intern design work at her health tech start-up Wanngi. Fortunately for me, she took the plunge and hired me as an intern, eventually moving to a paid design position at the company. 

​

Working at Wanngi immersed me in start-up culture, introduced me to a wealth of intelligent and talented team members and showed me that designing was far from a boring desk job. I worked within multiple sectors of the company including design and marketing where I was mentored by fellow design student Scarlett Curtis. She introduced me to a number of new techniques when it came to design and watching her handle her responsibilities was encouraging to say the least.

​

I also worked in a cross-disciplinary capacity with front and back-end designers who gave Wanngi the ability to come to life. Talented front-end developer interns Kyle Johnstone and Yui Andoh created compelling front end designs, with Kyle developing polarising scan-and-load technology for the application, whilst whizz with words Callum Murphy advanced the Wanngi blog.

​

Many thanks should be expressed to Maree for this opportunity and best of luck to the team on whatever adventure Wanngi takes them on.
