Glamsquad is an on-demand in-home beauty startup. They provide services such as blowouts, manicures, pedicures, and makeup in the comfort of your home. I interned at Glamsquad during the summer of 2018 as the Product Design Intern, working on their consumer app as well as their professional app. This internship was a part of the NEA Next program, the VC firm’s summer fellowship program where interns are placed at NEA portfolio companies.

One of the two projects I worked on at Glamsquad was spearheading the redesign process of the consumer app’s beauty profile feature. The beauty profile is the users’ hub for their style and personal preferences. As Glamsquad is a very personal service, going into the homes of our users to help them feel beautiful and empowered, the beauty profile carries a lot of the responsibility to help users inform their pros and create a memorable experience. Throughout the redesign, the team and I dedicated a lot of our time on user research to truly understand our users before creating multiple prototypes and testing them.
