And so we begin with our mentorships! This is a project that I have been really looking forward to. I was lucky enough to be paired up with none other than Grace Cho from Rethink.

What I’ve learned

One of the most exciting things I learned with Grace is that it’s very possible to get hired in a junior position as an art director whereas prior I only thought it was possible to start as a designer and work ones way up to art direction. This was great news to me seeing how I would love to do art direction. And with that we had a great direction for our project! I would be working on an art direction project. I ended up landing on the idea of working on a social cause project because theres a lot of opportunity there. I found it a bit challenging at first to do things the Rethink way but I found that it works really well for me and it’s the way I would love to work on future projects.

For grading myself for this project I would give myself a 10/10 because I’m proud of how efficiently I have been able to work on this project and how organized me and my mentor have been. We have all of our meetings pre-scheduled already and a really good game plan.
