The Brief
During my internship with West Virginia University's University Relations team, I contributed to creative and communications projects supporting the university and its various departments. My work spanned graphic design, digital content, web design, branding, publications, and promotional campaigns.
Each project presented different communication goals, audiences, and creative requirements. The challenge was to translate those needs into clear, engaging visual materials while maintaining consistency with the university's brand and the objectives of each project.
My role
As a creative intern with WVU University Relations, I supported projects across multiple areas of design and communications. My responsibilities included creating graphic and social media assets, contributing to website design and updates, developing promotional materials, and assisting with branding, presentations, and publications. This internship also provided me the opportunity to contribute to a diverse range of creative projects, each with its own audience, purpose, and deliverables.
I worked both independently and collaboratively, adapting to project requirements and working with team members and university departments to bring creative ideas to life. Across assignments, I focused on producing thoughtful, audience focused work that aligned with each individual project’s goals and visual identity.
The outcome
My internship with WVU University Relations gave me the opportunity to contribute to a broad range of creative and communications projects within a university environment. Through work across digital platforms, promotional campaigns, web design, and print materials, I gained experience adapting creative solutions to different audiences and project objectives.
The experience strengthened my ability to move between different types of creative work, collaborate with multiple stakeholders, and translate communication needs into visual deliverables. It also reinforced the importance of balancing creative thinking with thoughtful execution, consistency, and the goals of the organization.
