IBM Software · Product Design Intern
Twelve weeks on IBM’s Core Software Data Design team in Austin. Most of it went to how people and AI agents learn complex products in Db2. Then came a side mission that ended up live on IBM.com.
IBM Db2 · Product guidance
Most of my summer went to product guidance in Db2: research, exploration, prototyping, and a lot of playbacks with the team. It shaped how I think about AI, agents, and the future of product guidance.
I can walk through the work, my process, and what I contributed in an interview.
IBM Support · Design and build
Near the end of the internship, my manager asked if anyone had time to redesign three IBM Support pages that weren’t showing their offerings well. I said yes, took them from Figma to code with IBM Bob, and worked inside Drupal’s constraints.

“Your contributions helped us transform ideas into modern, polished web experiences that better showcase the value of our offerings.”Pepe Valiente, Strategy Lead, IBM Core Software
“Your quick turnaround with the initial drafts and subsequent update requests allowed us to publish these sooner than we would have.”Patti McAuliffe, WW Support Planning, IBM Core Software
What I took away
I left more comfortable working inside complexity, sharing unfinished work, and knowing when to keep exploring versus when to make something real. And more likely to raise my hand when something interesting comes up.
