Mr. Smith Agency

2024 Graphic Design Internship

During my internship at Mr. Smith Agency, I collaborated with the talented creative team - including the Creative Director, Senior Creative Director, and Visual Designer - to bring ideas to life in a fast-moving agency setting. I created and edited visual assets using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, worked on social media graphics, advertisements, and web content for clients like Girl Scouts of WNY and Labatt USA. While I proposed creative and innovative ways to display content, I also adapted existing templates to meet brand standards and campaign goals, helping deliver polished, on-brand work across both digital and print platforms for a range of local businesses.

What I loved most about working at an agency was every day brought a new challenge, a new brand voice, and a fresh creative direction. Collaborating with such a dynamic team gave me a real appreciation for the power of collective creativity; watching an idea evolve as it moved between designers, directors, and strategists was inspiring. It was also eye-opening to see how organized and intentional the workflow is behind the scenes and how many moving parts come together to produce smart, effective design. The fast pace and collaborative energy made it an incredibly motivating environment to grow as a designer, marketer, professional, and person.
