How My Internship at InVision Fueled Creativity and AI Innovation
Picture this: your creative skills put to the test in a dynamic, fast-moving design agency—sounds thrilling, doesn't it? As a recent graduate, here's how my summer internship at InVision brought my creativity to life.
I've always been curious about how to bring my academic learning experience to real-world application, and my internship at InVision provided the perfect opportunity. Each week, I had the chance to work with different designers, tackling various tasks and projects. It was a hybrid experience that allowed me to appreciate the agency's lifestyle and see how everyone has an important role in helping the company move forward. From brainstorming sessions and one-on-one to project executions, every task reinforced the importance of adaptability, creativity, and collaboration in the professional setting.
Adapting to agency life was both challenging and rewarding. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and eager to share their insights and tips, each with their unique style and approach. Through their guidance, I learned to thrive under pressure and contribute effectively to our projects. The camaraderie within the team was inspiring, and it showed me that great work often comes from a collective effort. This experience helped me build confidence and understand what it takes to succeed in a professional environment. It also made me realize how much impact one can have not only on big projects but even the small ones I’ve done.
One of the most exciting aspects of my internship was exploring digital transformation in the creative industry. Digital tools & technology are shaping the future of our creative world as we know it. I delved into various AI topics, conducting research and experimenting with Adobe Firefly, an AI tool that brings a new level of creativity to the table. It was incredible to see how AI can enhance our creative processes, offering innovative solutions and boosting productivity. This exploration not only expanded my technical skills but also highlighted the importance of staying updated with technological advancements to remain competitive in the industry. I believe these tools can help us in the long run. Taking advantage of knowing how to use them, mastering those tools and using them within our work effectively saves us time to explore more ideas creatively.
Reflecting on this summer, I loved learning in such a dynamic environment. Adapting to a fast-paced agency life and exploring the potential of digital tools has been transformative. I worked on diverse design projects, each offering unique challenges and learning experiences. I created digital assets and researched campaigning work, client-driven projects, and AI-driven design techniques that bring fresh perspectives to the projects. InVision showed how they put care into giving valuable skills and practice and challenging me to drive my creativity and career further. It demonstrates their willingness to guide their employees, helping them thrive in this industry.
