My experience as a marketing & communications intern at Lower Manhattan Cultural Council has been very valuable. Since the beginning of my internship, my projects have been getting more and more challenging and I believe that my workflow in this process has been very efficient. Although in the beginning of my internship, I did not have any in-depth, formal training in the projects and tasks I would be working on, I learned and adapted fairly quickly and was able to complete all the required tasks without many revisions.
I stayed open-minded and was always willing to offer my skills and interests in the areas that my team did not expect of me. I worked on various design projects and did a photoshoot for one of their artist-in-residence programs which was greatly welcomed and used on all LMCC digital platforms.
Besides all the creative projects, I also worked on several administrative and research projects. I was there to learn, develop my skills further and to leave a good impression.
Overall, I’m quite happy with my internship experience and all the things I have learned and acquired from it. Although I do wish I did more design-related projects and less administrative tasks, I’m still very satisfied with the overall outcome. I will be continuing my employment at LMCC in a week as an independent contractor where I will have more opportunity to work on design-related projects.

Hi there!
My name is Salome, but people usually call me Sal. I am a young professional with experience in graphic design, advertising, and digital marketing. Currently, I am working on a degree in Communication Design to pursue my lifelong passion in the art of marketing and digital communications.
My fascination with visual communications and the digital world started at the age of 13 when I launched Adobe Photoshop for the first time. I was previously interested in digital photography and the fact that I could modify or completely change the reality of my photos with the help of the program greatly excited me. Over time as I learned more about the importance of visuals and good design, I started reading books about marketing, branding, and color theory. At this point, I had already dropped out as an economics major from University in Bulgaria and was living in New York – one of the most inspiring cities in terms of many things, including great designs & history.
During my first few years in New York, while I was still trying to settle in the city, I was rigorously working in many types of jobs. At the same time, I was focusing on and planning for my goal, which was a formal education in the field of visual communications. Six years after leaving Bulgaria and five years since moving to New York, here I am, pursuing my lifelong passion!
My interest in the field has only gotten stronger with time, and now that I have made it this far, I’m ready to learn as much as possible and enjoy the process of this opportunity as well.
