My internship experience at Haworth sent me full throttle into the industry as a fresh college graduate. Through real-world involvement and hands-on training, I absorbed the inner workings from a beginner’s standpoint while growing as a contributing member of the strategy and design teams. This opportunity built confidence in me early on in my media career and connected me with a group of creative go-getters who supported my success while challenging me to improve my skills daily. 10/10 would recommend to a friend!
