Hi Anthony,
Thank you for your feedback and your encouragement.
There are definitely room for improvement in the portfolio to better represent myself as someone from the field of HCI. And I will continue to work on that.
The personal project is a good idea that I'm now starting to be more courageous to step into as well. An example will be making more prototypes or just plainly making stuff in general. (Coincidentally, I did tried to redesign Amazon's rating system last year - no code just design).
In terms of prototyping, I have recently, after finding out the Flip will be discontinued, made a couple of rapid paper prototype of the device to get a look/feel to decide which one of the lineup I should purchase before they are all sold out.
My main reason for seeking out an UX intern is to get a feel of working in the field and to practice what I've learnt so far. The above answer may sound generic, but coming from a different field of study in my B.S, I think the prospect of applying the different theories/methods/practices I have learnt (so far) in a real world setting will be an amazing experience for me.
Thanks again for your feedback. The plain sight of someone replying is gratifying enough. I will definitely go back to the drawing board and continue reiterate my portfolio.
