JUNE 2020 — MAY 2021

My Takeaways

Over my internship, I had the pleasure of experiencing plenty of collaboration and expanding my graphic design practice towards a more professional audience. It gave me the opportunity to exercise my creativity, while still staying within brand guidelines and addressing all aspects of the design requests. This position also allowed me to learn how to work in a corporate setting, in which I was not always designing for creatively-oriented coworkers.

I learned the most from creating the Physician’s Guidebook. The editing and refinement process was arduous but taught me the importance of establishing design guidelines and how to design for professional audiences. In corporate settings, I also found that creating low-fidelity drafts was crucial in streamlining my design process and receiving edits. By making simple, yet communicative prototypes, I was able to display my ideas to non-design coworkers to receive critique, without having to fully mockup each design. Maintaining constant communication in a remote work setting was also a very important skill I learned during the internship.
