At Being Design, I am a Web Design Intern. I have worked on websites, I’ve met clients, and through Being Design, I was able to do more than what a normal web designer does. I have done SEO work and helped with branding and identity building.
Working at Being Design has been a very unique experience. I never thought I’d get an externship like this one due to not having experience. But I was able to earn the externship and even feel like I am part of the team. I have had some ups and downs since starting the externship, but from this, I feel as though working at Being Design has helped me learn and grow both as a professional and as a person.
I thank not only Hopeworks for this opportunity, but some individuals at Being Design and also myself. I was able to let go of toxic people, learn more about professionalism as well as what is important and what is right for me.
“Working with Kayla has been a blast. She's creative, conscientious, hard-working, and she has an impeccable eye for design. Best of all, she's attentive to the needs of others, which makes her as valuable around the office as she is in client meetings. We're honored to have her on the team. “ -John Cardone
