Eternity Riley came to Hopeworks in the Fall of 2018 and quickly mastered the training. With an eye for graphic design and the skills to match, she joined the Hopeworks Communications team in October as the graphic design intern. During her six month internship, Eternity created print and digital designs for a variety of Hopeworks needs, including email and direct mail fundraising campaigns, digital images for social media, event programs, invitations, and brochures.
When Eternity was nearing the end of her internship and was tasked with onboarding and training the next intern, she took the initiative to draft an extensive internship manual with detailed instructions and templates. Her manual was extremely useful for the communications department interns, but also served as a template for other department manuals as well.
Eternity’s skills, portfolio, motivation, and professionalism has now earned her a permanent job at TwoTwo Creative, a print, design, and marketing agency in Sicklerville, New Jersey. TwoTwo President, John Lorenzo, was excited to report that, “It’s been two weeks since we hired Eternity Riley from Hopeworks Camden but it feels like she’s been here for an eternity! As a busy fast growing design studio and print shop, we were on the hunt for a graphic designer. But not just any designer, we wanted someone who was creative, kind, hard working and humble. That’s the kind of people we hire at TwoTwo Creative! Naturally we asked our friends at Hopeworks who have a very similar culture as we do if they had any students that they could refer and we couldn’t be happier with Eternity. Thank you Hopeworks!”
