Last week I got hired as an intern to work at Bovrbon, which is a creative digital agency that is located in Chelsea, in New York City. It really helps to have connections in this field, since I was running out of time to find my internship and I needed to take the class in order to graduate. The owner of Bovrbon, happened to be looking for an intern and is a good friend, of a good friend of my dads. I did not have a formal interview, but since my resume and portfolio were well put together and uniform, pushed my supervisor to hire me, over the other applicants he had gotten in the past few weeks.

On March 9th, I met up with my supervisor (Josh Bendana) at a temporary office in Staten Island, since that is where we both live and he wasn’t planning on going to the office that day unless there was an emergency. Bovrbon is a small company with only seven or eight employees, who work remotely a lot of the time. We sat in the office for two hours, getting to know each other and to discuss the work in portfolio in depth. I received the greatest news, that I was able to work remotely and we would do our meetings via email or phone call; and we would only meet at the office if it were necessary to collaborate with other team members. I was able to meet one of Bovrbons newer clients, since they rented an office in the same building where we were having our meeting. After the quit meeting with the client, Josh informed me that I would be taking over Crazy Cleans Instagram page since the previous designer (not through Bovrbon), didn’t really have a clue what he was doing. Towards the end of the meeting, I received my first assignment, which was to design four prospective logos for a paver company that was located in New Jersey. I had four days for the designs, he asked if I had any other questions and that was the end of the meeting.

I’m excited for this internship, since I’m hoping to learn new skills and to show how the skills I’ve already obtained, can hopefully land me a job with this company when I graduate.
