The Internship That Confirmed My Career Path: A Product Design Intern’s Story

I invite you to join me while I celebrate and reflect on my 11-month internship at Productboard. In those 11 months, I achieved two things: I entered the job market and validated that I can and want to work as a product designer. I went from being a complete novice to owning my own domain and shipping a feature. I’d like to share how I did it.

This article will examine the following questions:

  • How can you get an internship at a company without an internship program?
  • How can you validate your dream of working as a product designer?
  • What can you get out of doing an internship?
  • How does learning at university compare to learning on the job?
