"I Absolutely loved this experience!! i found strong design community, grew in my skills as a designer, and loved every minute of it!"

During this internship, I really learned how to talk about my design decisions and feel confident in my work. I loved the creative briefs and seeing everyone's interpretations. I learned the most from watching Kadie give feedback to every person, it was the best experience as I started my design business!

Travel is a huge component of how our creative team stays inspired and creates lasting memories, and having the opportunity to get away on a creative team retreat with women who get you and share your love of design, who support your dreams and goals, and who cheer you on in your pursuit of online entrepreneurship is good for the soul. 

Our internship isn't just about learning how the Drop Cap studio operates or particpating in our client projects, it's mostly about allowing you getting the high level of training and wisdom needed to take your work (and business!) to the next level.
