Details

The Graphic Design Assistant will work directly with the CEO and founder Sharon Bonner, and the Social Media and Graphic Design lead, as the company continues to increase its social media presence and develop its brand image in the events industry.

The intern will also work with the Social Media and Graphic Design Lead to develop and design external facing graphics for social media, and communications. The intern will create social media visuals for at least 5 social media channels (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, and Pinterest) including reels, carousel graphics, static posts, blog banners and more while being directly supervised by the department lead. All stages of the graphic design process will be involved, and the work will vary from planning and creating the most engaging and trendy graphics, to brand design.

The main goals of this project are to market the new consulting business with on-brand visuals and develop design assets for the company.

Mentorship

Sharon believes in supporting and coaching her interns, while giving them the space to be independent and creative. At the beginning of the internship, monthly goals are established. Those monthly goals are then broken down into weekly attainable goals.

Sharon likes to offer a variety of tasks for the interns and welcomes constant feedback or suggestions on the projects the interns are working on. Once a week, Sharon, the department lead and the interns will meet via zoom to review progress, talk about improvements, suggestions, feedback, etc.

The interns are very involved in the process and will feel valued and heard. Sharon loves the interns she works with, and puts her heart and soul into mentoring them.
