Hello! I’m Liz, the summer intern here Studio66. This week is actually my second week of working here, and I’m already excited (and somewhat intimidated) of the projects I will take a part of.
My choice to intern at Studio66 this summer was partially at the suggestion of a professor, but it was also from what I read and saw on the studio’s website. Studio66 just seemed like a firm who liked to have fun but also cared about design and the clients they worked with. And just from these 2 weeks working with these fine folks, I can see this, which is great and reassuring.
From this internship I hope to gain experience in the graphic design industry, especially the business side of it. I also hope to keep my creative juices fresh and flowing through the projects I get to work on, even if I only have a small part in it. I would also like to gain more knowledge in web design and all its fun technicalities since that is an area of design I am less comfortable with, and an area that Studio66 has a lot of experience in.
I’ve had a good two weeks here. It can get pretty crazy-busy here, but the overall, the environment is chill and light-hearted. I will never forget the first day of working here. I got to sit down with Rashael, Peter, and Brianne in one of their weekly Monday meetings in which project updates and brainstorming occurred over bowls of Lucky Charms cereal. Some brilliant ideas were discussed, as were some funny tangents. It was nice to see and know that even with their piles of projects, there was still time to relax the mind and enjoy the randomness that is life.
Well, I’m off to continue working on my next project, which involves one of my favorite areas of design: packaging! Yay for crazy folds
