Work Experience
August 2018 – May 2019 | West Lafayette, IN
Graphic Design Intern x Purdue Student Life Marketing
As a graphic design intern, I successfully delivered strong and focused design solutions on branding new restaurants, promoting retail stores, and advertising new school events following the university’s style guide. Multiple platforms are being used to market the university on a daily basis, so I gained experience curating creative designs for web, mobile to prints. I also learned about the pre-press production process, and how to communicate and guide clients with graphic design knowledge.
May – July 2016 | Qingdao, China
Interior Design Intern x TYDI
During my time at TYDI, I was responsible for brainstorming concepts, and helping with construction documents and FF&Es. TYDI had gotten a new project during June 2016. I collaborated with a team of four to do background research, style research, and draft bid. In a fast-paced work environment, I gained a better understanding of time management.
