  Forge (Formerly "HackCville")

  May 2018 - Aug 2018

  Digital Media Intern

  HackCville’s Launch Academy is a prestigious 12 week summer program that teaches students hands on skills they apply during a 7 week internship at the end of the summer. As a digital media student, I participated in an intense 5 week training program where I learned how to effectively tell a company’s story through branding and design, how to create photo and video content for websites, and became proficient in Adobe Illustrator, LightRoom, and Premiere Pro. These skills allow me to create brands from scratch to tell a company’s story and communicate messages with consumers. I practiced what I learned by creating digital content for clients that are cohesive in design and photography, as well as by engaging with multiple hands-on projects built into Launch’s curriculum.
