B-Stock is so excited to welcome Star Doby to the Product team this summer! As a summer teammate, we know Star will be an incredible asset to the company. Star is currently studying Computer Science at Stanford University. Learn a bit more about Star and see her answers to some questions below.
I’m really looking forward to working on an industrial design team and learning how to collaborate across different teams like product analytics, engineering, etc.
I wanted to be a math teacher because I loved math and wanted to help others. My dream has changed but I still want to work within the field of education at some point!
Don’t compare yourself to other people. You are on your path. This is a hard lesson to learn but an important one. It’s easy to let comparison make you feel miserable. I try my best to think about my own path and work with what I’ve got!
I like to get outside as much as I can, so you might find me on the grass outside lounging in the sun. If not outside, I’m probably inside playing the guitar or piano.
I don’t always sing around my co-workers or peers, but if you take me to karaoke, I can’t resist! Singing is so much fun, especially with other people.
I often listen to chill R&B in the background while I work. It’s chill enough to not distract me but lively enough to keep me awake.
I think taking the opportunity to travel is the best way to use unlimited PTO! I would try to surround myself with nature, either by visiting a national park, going to the beach, or just hanging out in a local park.
I think it’s helpful to try to derive inspiration from unexpected sources. I can talk to friends, go for a walk, surf social media, meditate, etc. I can surprise myself by finding inspiration in different areas. Usually talking with people works best! Music really gets me going. It both stimulates my brain and also helps me feel relaxed.
Recently, I was on a software development team with some of my peers at Stanford. We presented a new and improved office hours queue at the end-of-the-year software fair and got 2nd prize! I worked a ton on the UI design and implementation. It was validating to hear from other people that our UI was clean and effective. I felt like a valuable contributor to the team.
I hope to contribute my perspective to the design team as someone who is analytical, well-versed in code, and passionate about human-computer interaction. If there are any gaps in perspective, I’d love to fill them!
