JUNE-AUG 2022
As the graphic design intern, my role was to support the creative team through individual and collaborative work on print and digital projects that followed brand guidelines. I proposed and designed ideas from conception to completion at weekly meetings with the creative director and senior designers. This included background research for mood boards and presentations on logos, visual systems, and more.
