So I’ve been here at Worthwhile for almost three weeks for my design internship. So far, so good-I can’t complain. I wasn’t completely sure what to expect at first, simply because I’ve never worked in an environment like this before but I can happily say that whatever expectations I may have had coming in, I haven’t been let down…so far. No, but seriously, I don’t think that’ll happen.

I’ve also learned a few things since I’ve been here at Worthwhile-it’s funny how that happens…but seriously, I have. Most people I would say have no idea what goes into the creation of an aesthetic, functional, client-satisfying website. Through sitting in on meetings and listening to design pitches by Dave or four-hour meetings talking about nothing but site content, I’ve started to get a feel for it. But I’m definitely still learning-it’s a long process sometimes-with me anyways. It’s all about the client, and sometimes that can be easy for me to forget for some reason.

I couldn’t have any better office-mates either. I’ll never forget all the long and deep life talks I’ve had with Dave and Leslie at 8 in the morning, mostly consisting of nothing more than  ”Good morning” or “I need another cup of coffee” or “Did you see the game last night?” or “I just want to sleep.” But we have a good time. Probably my biggest highlight so far came about a week or less in when Dan finally figured out a nickname for me- “SixPax.” I’m not sure where the significance of the “Six” came from but it has a nice ring to it and it’s original, so that’s always a plus. Once again, I can’t complain.

Overall, great experience so far. I’m excited to see how this internship goes the rest of the summer.
