This company is a nonprofit that supports many other nonprofits in terms of research and technology. (They serve mostly family resource organizations.) I wanted to work with them because they do really great work, and I wanted to contribute what I could to the causes they support. Mostly this job was production work in Photoshop, but I did get a few design projects and UI testing projects. This was a great place to start building a professional network. They were all very open and encouraged my growth. I made some great connections there.
