Over the Summer of 2024, I interned as an Art Director intern in HLK’s Launchpad Internship Program, a six-week in-person experience at their St. Louis office. I collaborated with a team of interns across disciplines copywriters, and strategists, to create concepts and execute creative solutions for real client projects. From ideation to presentation, I helped shape the visual direction and brought campaign ideas to life in a fast-paced agency setting. The experience gave me firsthand insight into the advertising industry and allowed me to grow my leadership, creative thinking, and teamwork skills while building a strong portfolio of real-world work.
