Internship Experience
Swimways
Swimways is a pool toy and water leisure company based in Virginia Beach that I was an Intern for during the summer of 2018. This was the perfect internship for me coming out of my Sophomore year of design school as I learned a lot about how a retail company timeline operates and got a lot of time to continue learning Adobe software. I did not leave the internship with work to add to my portfolio, however I left with exposure to the toy industry and new design proficiency.
Fidelity Investments
I interned in Kentucky with Fidelity investments during the summer of 2019. I supported the design team in the Workplace investments department. Creating supplemental sales material specialized to each new prospective clients brand helped the sales team show that Fidelity connects with their company, values, brand, and will be the right solution for their financial needs. I had exposure to a plethora of different brands and got to dive into their messaging, design, voice and company values to create custom material for them. I left this internship with a lot of new design skills, met an amazing team of talented designers, and learned about how vital branding can be to sales and connecting with customers/clients.
