6/6/2022 - First day of work!
Remembering my first day of work at Deutsch LA, I was super nervous but also excited for all the new things I was going to learn. Orientation day went well, and we were already assigned our first project, which was to find a creative way to get users to interact with a Pride Filter that DLA created. We had a lot of freedom with this, so I wasn’t sure where to start… but everyone at this company is nice and supportive, and I feel very welcomed here. My mentor is always helping me become a better designer, offering me great advice, etc. I have already learned so much, for example how a company works, how to format my work for presentations, and most importantly, I’m beginning to feel confident in my abilities and ideas as a designer. I was having a major case of Imposter syndrome when I first arrived here, seeing all my fellow interns' amazing works, but I try to remind myself that I deserve to be here.

Today was a big day for me! Although it may not seem like much, a design element I made for a social media post got posted by my company today! One of my goals for this internship was to have any little part of something I make be posted to the web, living out there in the real world, and that’s already been achieved in my 4th week here. Even though it may seem like a silly little image, it’s MY silly little image. I’m so grateful for DLA letting the interns show off our hard work, as well as the Senior Designers that help push us to be our best everyday. I know this is just the beginning of all the awesome work I’ll be able to create! :-)
