Social Media Intern at Payverse
Intro to Typography
I did an internship over the summer, where I still work now! I manage social media and create content for a fintech company called Payverse. It’s been interesting to grow my skills in brand identity and learn a little about an industry that I had no background knowledge on before I began. It’s been wonderful to bring my typography and hierarchy skills into a space that really needs it.
My main advice for a new Champlain student is to really walk around campus and Burlington as a whole! It can be daunting coming here and having all the freedom in the world all of a sudden, and may make a lot of us (including me) just want to stay in our rooms sometimes. But Burlington is so beautiful, and while it’s a lot of walking, I can confidently say so much of my college experience has been made by discovering new places, after walking maybe a little too far.
My ultimate career aspiration is to have my own graphic design business where I can sustain myself by working at home, creating my own hours, and traveling to places that I’ve always wanted to go. Of course, this comes with a lot of development and networking, so immediately after college I’d like to first find a design firm to really grow my skills in interacting with clientele. In order to become a great designer, you need to be adaptive, communicative, creative, and understanding of just how much impact your work really has. Through continuing to foster my work ethic and develop my skills, I really do believe this dream will be possible.
