I joined the Content Design Resources team to take on the challenge of helping Apple’s partners (podcasters, artists, authors) create and publish artwork on platforms.

Over the course of 12 weeks, I designed, prototyped, and proposed a tool for Podcast creators to ensure their artwork complies with company guidelines.

At the end of my internship, I had the opportunity to present my work to Robert Kondrk, the VP of Apple Services and his direct reports!

My main takeaways

I’m incredibly grateful for my time at Apple, to have had the opportunity to learn from and meet so many talented designers! Here are my most valuable lessons from this experience:

A good presentation requires strong visuals, but more importantly, good storytelling.

I began my internship sitting in meetings as my team repeatedly iterated on VOs (voice-overs/speaker notes), paying attention to the slightest nuances and pauses. I applied these practices to present my work to senior leadership in under 10 minutes, and I leave my internship feeling much stronger about my storytelling and presentation skills!

Take initiative, even if you're just an intern.

This was my first time working at a large company and being the only intern on a team of 3 — a big adjustment from working with other designers my age. I took initiative by setting up brainstorming meetings and communicating effectively to receive feedback! 3 minds work better than 1 :)

Don't be afraid to ask questions

Whether it was learning the ropes for Sketch and Keynote, or just general design advice, I'd ask my desk neighbors and others on the Content Design team for help as well!
