During the course, I had the privilege of completing 10 weeks internship as Communication Designer with esteemed organization RISE Northeast, and the experience was truly remarkable. During my internship at Rise, I was involved in a “Step Outdoors” pilot project and had the chance to work closely with the incredible team. I gained invaluable experience in conceptualizing, researching, designing, and executing visually appealing and effective designs and resource bank for the Step Outdoors project.
