I published and presented my findings to the entire firm as part of an initiative to educate the team on the newest developments and trends affecting retail. I also lead a store organization strategy project for a kitchenware retailer in Germany. I assisted my co-workers as needed with AutoCAD drawings, 3D modeling in Sketchup and Photoshop renderings.Occurring abroad, this was a truly amazing experience for me. I not only got exposed to the research and strategy side of design but also to cultures I was not familiar with. Living and working in a foreign country was a goal of mine and I felt that I grew professionally and personally in ways that I never imagined.

MKG is a creative agency specializing in brand experiences. I co-oped in the NYC office as a design intern in the spring of 2017. I assisted in the design and documentation of various brand activations such as seasonal fashion collection previews, music festival tents and pop-ups. To create visuals and shop drawings for fabrication I used Sketchup, Podium for Sketchup and the Adobe Suite to render and present the work. I also had the opportunity to be on the installation team for a few events. For each project I worked with a different team and this gave me exposure to the various roles at the agency. This was the first time that I worked closely with strategists. I liked how they thought about problems and contributed fresh perspectives to projects and this inspired me to pursue this type of work in addition to interior design.
