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.
