I’ve made it back to the states successfully! Visited paris for a few days on the way. Got to tour 2 Exhibit houses (Groupe FG Design and Procédés Chénel International) which was really interesting! The architecture in Paris is amazing. Spending this week in St. Louis at Optima Graphics. I’ve been here for two days and have already learned a lot! I’m so thankful for this opportunity.
The convention was awesome! I learned a lot and met some great people from all over the world. We ended the week with a dinner on the Mediterranean Sea. Can’t beat that!
Another productive and educational week in the books! Going to the beach tomorrow to relax and get some sun!
This week flew by! Tasks at duo France are moving at high speed! The convention is approaching and I can’t wait to see my homies from the USA! I’m feeling more comfortable in the work environment and duo 3d is getting easier to work with. I’m learning tricks in photoshop which is very exciting to me. Off to explore Montpillier tomorrow! So glad Catherine from Montreal is interning here as well!
My home for 6 weeks!
One week in France so far and I already know I won’t want to eat american food when I go home! The wine, food and people are amazing!
This March I had the opportunity to attend Exhibitor 2013 in Las Vegas. Experiencing tradeshow design in person was very eye opening! It was interesting to learn about the materials and technology that are emerging in the tradeshow industry. My classmates and I were able to showcase our design work to exhibitors at the show in hopes of creating leads to job opportunities.
On behalf of winning the design challenge I had the opportunity to spend some time in Duo’s booth during the show. It was fun to work with Duo and Optima’s staff. Having conversations with attendees and learning about the products that each company has to offer was very educational. I felt very honored to be a part of Exhibitor 2013.
This is the contest that got me the internship!
Thanks again to Optima Graphics and Duo Display for investing in the Design Technology program at Bemidji State University!
