Work Experience - Abroad

Wolff Olins

As I am interested in working abroad over the next year and gaining more experience in an international sphere, I decided to apply for the internship position available from Wolff Olins. Based in the New York office the experience would allow me to design in a studio environment, but also allow me to see what it is like for designing for a different demographic which isn't my original home comfortable studio. 

My application was sent with a snippet of my portfolio and a covering letter, after not hearing back and being passionate about this role I called the New York office to inquire. I was told that the role had already been filled but to keep in touch with the team for a future opportunity which may allow me to travel to their USA office to complete some work with their team.

I have also applied to a similar position with L'oreal located in the US creative department, design for cosmetics is something that I have experimented with this year and something that I enjoyed, therefore this role would allow me to further explore that type of design.
