My summer internship at Roundel and Target was a transformative bridge between design student and professional. Progressing from basic "flights" to approved live campaigns for brands like Pace and Clorox, I mastered technical Photoshop skills and inclusive design principles. Beyond aesthetics, workshops on storytelling and AI taught me to drive consumer behavior strategically. Collaborating across departments, I gained the confidence to build impactful ads from scratch, leaving with a refined, professional creative process.
