Takeaways

Unexpected Outcome

This internship experience has been a departure from my initial expectations. Being a prominent news publishing organization, I had anticipated a rigid and austere work environment, characterized by mundane and insignificant tasks. However, I was pleasantly surprised to have been entrusted with high-impact projects that were showcased to the public. In addition to designing, I was able to leverage my programming skills to program the hotel landing page, further underscoring my technical proficiency. This experience has provided me with a unique opportunity for professional growth and has exceeded my initial expectations.

Vs Myself

At first, I struggled with presenting imperfect work and receiving feedback. My mentors helped me understand that iterations and refinements are integral to improving one's skills. As I became more open to feedback, I gained confidence and a better understanding of the creative process. This internship taught me the importance of resilience and adaptability in navigating challenges.

Thanks for visiting my canvas. 🫶
