It is not often when you have an experience in your life that radically changes you view the world. Or it happens often. I don’t know, I’m only 22. But my time at AP has given me invaluable insights into the world of non-profit work, and that challenges one faces in this field. You need to adapt and overcome, and be willing to confront large institutions (I’m looking at you Kindle) to attain your goal. As the Creative Development Assistant, I worked on the graphic design materials on projects such as our Sister Artists catalogue and the brochures used for the Textile Museum display. I also worked on a wide variety of duties, ranging from assisting with finances, procuring materials, and reaching out to our donors. I became the office design guru, resident long hair guy, and had the amazing privilege of working with some of the most talented people ever. Iain, Luisa, Millie, Oriana, Gio, Mary-Ellen and Riley are some of the most hardworking coworkers one could ask for. I had the wonderful privilege to do this kind of work, and have gained so much from this internship.
