Hands-on design at fairground internship
Annika Goeller '24
Major: visual communication design
Internship: Graphic design at the Erie County (New York) Fairgrounds
What's cool: "... being able to put my creative skills to use in the real world, using programs I've learned at Naz and learning new ones that the fair uses, like the back end of the website. I love all the people I work with."
What's satisfying: "Seeing things I helped design printed and up in the real world." Seeing one of the billboards up "was the most amazing feeling."
How it helped me: "I've learned that I enjoy working in-house at a company as opposed to a marketing agency. It's a more relaxed environment, and you really get to know everyone around you; you know the company really well."
