Could you describe what your day-to-day looks like as an intern for Pitch Agency?

My primary tasks involved creating social media content for the company alongside content for clients but I also created a digital web prototype for the company and a brochure for print. My daily routine involved meeting with my supervisor on a Wednesday and receiving critique and feedback from the previous week's tasks or getting briefed on a new task then I would work from home on Thursday.

The environment is openly collaborative and supportive as it was in a shared workplace with other offices and multiple levels of workspaces. It is also a social, casual, fun workplace where everyone respects one another.

What was your favorite part about your internship?

I enjoyed the diversity of projects I was able to work on and it felt rewarding to collaborate on realistic projects with my supervisor. It was also useful to see where my strengths and weaknesses lie in terms of visualizing and conceptualizing ideas to fruition.

Has your internship met your expectations? In which way will it help further your professional goals/long-term career?

The internship has exceeded my expectations as I have gained more confidence in my design skills and learned to think in a more innovative way. The way my supervisor has outlined my strengths and weaknesses and critiqued my portfolio has also helped guide me to have more clarity about the trajectory of my design career.
