Internviews: get to know our summer interns
Each year we invite current students and recent grads from different backgrounds to join our team. Meet them here!
This summer, we’re welcoming nine creative, strategic and innovative minds to collaborate on real-world projects and experience just what it means to be multidisciplinary.
Before they jumped into a 10-week (add)venture, we asked our intern class to share a bit about themselves.
