Overview
In 2025, I had the fantastic opportunity of working at Apple as a Design Co-op Intern. As my first in-person internship, I was able to grow and learn so much more as a designer, a creative, and a leader. I was able to meet some amazing people, be on a beautiful campus, and work on interesting projects.

As a Design Intern, I was working a range of design skills, from graphic design, to video editing, to animation, to UIUX. My main project was Product Operations' internal learning platform, home to events, workshops, and learning paths for their employees. Given the opportunity to redesign the platform, as well as add new innovative pages to further its usefulness to the normal employee, I was able to learn so much about the design process within the environemnt that Apple has to offer.

Outside of the learning platform, I made over 40+ web pages, 15+ branded assets, 10+ animations, and 3+ videos, which reached 1,000+ employees across Operations at Apple. I was also selected as a Top 10 finalist team in Apple’s iContest 2025, pitching and prototyping a new product feature to senior leadership, demonstrating product vision, innovation, and cross-functional collaboration.
