Why did you want to intern at the Do LaB?
I wanted to intern at the Do LaB because I really admire the work that they do. Music and art are a huge part of who I am and I wanted to be involved in a company that integrates both. The Do LaB is a leader within the industry by bringing these two mediums together into interactive and memorable experiences at many events, such as Coachella, Lightning in a Bottle, and more. I wanted to do work that was interesting and fun, as well as educational, and I believe the Do LaB offers just that.
What are some things you have learned so far?
So far, I have definitely honed my photoshop skills as I have been challenged to work on projects which put me out of my realm of knowledge. I have also been challenged to think creatively about different kinds of social media posts. I think the best way to learn is by doing, so I am excited to continue working on creative social media projects.

My future goals are to pursue a career in marketing. Now more than ever, social media plays an instrumental role in all marketing strategies. I believe my experience here at Do LaB will definitely help equip me with valuable skills by providing me with hands-on social media and market research experience.
