After a few months of internship searching (June – Sept), I was able to secure an internship with the Elizabeth Sutton Collection. I had been applying mostly through CityTech’s handshake app. However, before I committed to Elizabeth Sutton Collection, I had another internship with the Museum of Urban Arts. However, this one did not work out because communication fell short on their end. Going back to the Elizabeth Sutton Collection internship, I had my first interview with Jade, who’s my supervisor. The first interview was online, about 30 minutes on Google meets. She then referred me to Elizabeth, the founder, and I immediately got accepted after discussing my portfolio. The internship is a graphic design-based position where I go in person to Elizabeth’s studio apartment(Elizabeth stated that eventually would switch to an art gallery location) and work from 9-5 on Mondays and Wednesdays. My supervisor is Jade, and I will communicate with her during my shift on projects. Some of my projects entail product mockups, creating graphic assets. I officially start my internship on September 17th.
