I interned in the Social Media Department of DownToEarth, a popular magazine among climate enthusiasts as well as experts. During my tenure, I was assigned the task of ideation and content creation for the various social media platforms of the firm. I began by preparing a report on my understanding of the existing content on DownToEarth's socials, along with an analysis of the engagement drawn by each kind of post. Then, I proposed ideas along with sample designs for further posts, prioritizing quality and curiosity while adapting to the firm's identity. Each task demanded intricate research into the topic before being prepared to present it in a unique voice. Over the weeks of my internship, I enhanced my ability to simplify complex and diverse information into a structured manner for effective and interactive consumption.

During the summer break of 2022, I completed a monthlong internship in the editorial of the prominent academic publishing house Ratna Sagar. I was assigned the drafts of primary school textbooks with an objective to improve its smoothness and readability. This involved a structured process of 1) eliminating any typographical, factual or design errors, and 2) simplifying the content for easy and engaging communication.With guidance from experts in the field, I developed the observational skills necessary to spot errors in the drafts and the creativity required for rewriting content. Over the weeks, I was assigned more complex texts, ensuring that my learning curve stayed positive. I believe that my firm view about the intertwined nature of interactive writing and designing stems from my experience working in publishing.
