During my time at Appalachian state University, I gained helpful work experience through two internships. My first internship was with USColorworks located in Monroe, North Carolina. Then in my final internship, I worked for Visual Impressions located in Charlotte, North Carolina. USColorworks specialized in Screen Printing and Embroidery, while Visual Impressions specialized in Vinyl Signage. In both internships,  I worked with their design teams to create mock ups for approval, prepared art files for print production, quality check, and communicate on project status.
