My 5-months internship has been a full of lessons and challenges. It has provided me with valuable industry exposure and allow me to grow both personally and professionally. I have attained many different set of skills throughout. I developed greater confidence when talking to my colleagues during meetings and when coordinating a project with them. Furthermore, I gained experience working in a fast-paced environment, where I had to adapt to weekly campaign updates and ensure that marketing materials were prepared and delivered on time. I learnt the importance of teamwork, accepting constructive feedback and creating designs that aligns with the brand guidelines. Moreover,being the only Graphic Design Intern encouraged me to become more independent while also improving my ability to work closely and communicate effectively with my colleagues. This experience has prepared me to face future challenges in the creative and marketing industry with greater confidence.

In the company, there is corporate gifts for the sales team and when there is a corporate event. For example, when someone from the sales teams has to go for overseas business trips, they require corporate gifts to give to their clients and they will get it from the marketing team. They would state the quantity of items in a form and I will assist them by packing the requested items. I will then update the inventory stocks and count the stocks left. I would also have to count the stocks to make sure it is all correct.

Updating the digital screen event listings was one of my weekly tasks. I prepared the event listings in powerpoint slides format and then transferring it to Canva in video format based on the latest event information before sending them to the person in charge for upload onto the digital screens around Singapore EXPO. This made me ensure consistency of fonts, font sizes, graphics throughout the whole video. Therefore, this ensured that visitors were kept informed of upcoming events and activities at the venue. 

I coordinated many different projects throughout my internship. For example, onsite activations, National Day Decorations. I assisted with communicating with vendors, requesting for quotations, discussing proposals, follow-up regarding installation dates and manpower needed. Being given the opportunity to coordinate multiple projects or campaigns has developed my ability to manage multiple projects at the same time, enhanced my confidence and communication skills.

Managed the onsite installations for National Day Decorations 2026 by making sure all is in order and at the right area. This was a big project as it took 2 months to get everything done smoothly. From finding vendors to viewing each proposals, requesting for proposals to fit the budget and to finalise on the final vendor.

Managed different onsite activations with the same vendor.  I acted as the main point of contact to ensure the clearly understood each of the installations and carry it smoothly without any misunderstandings.
