At times, it is challenging to manage my time between school and my job. But to be honest, I would not have it any other way. Working at Ackerman McQueen has taught me so much over the past seven months. I started off as an intern in August of last year, and then my internship turned into a part-time job. Being a junior in design school, this is incredibly exciting. My job has given me a lot of real world experience, as well as design know-how. I have a great mentor that encourages and inspires me to push myself and be the best designer I can. There are a lot of things that they don't teach you in design school, and I feel like my job has taught me all that and more. It is truly a pleasure working at a studio and being excited to go into work every day. As I said earlier, I would not have it any other way. This job is going to continue to teach me a lot, and I will just keep absorbing all the knowledge I can possibly get.
My advice to anyone in design school: Please take a chance and get an internship your junior year. It is going to completely change the way you think and the way you work. It is truly the best experience of my life.
