Digital Summer Clinic internship Week 1

The first week of the clinic experience has been all about orientation, connection, and laying the groundwork for what’s to come. Meeting our assigned company for the first time felt like opening a new chapter—one filled with potential, challenges, and opportunities to grow. This initial meeting gave us insight into the company’s mission, goals, and the role we’ll be playing in helping them move forward. It was exciting to see how our creative thinking might translate into real-world impact.

A big focus this week was establishing structure. Our team worked together to create a flexible but reliable schedule that allows us to stay organized while adapting to the company’s needs as we learn more. We discussed roles, outlined expectations, and set communication norms to make sure we’re all aligned as we dive into the project. It’s clear that collaboration will be key throughout this process, and I’m already inspired by the energy and ideas my teammates bring to the table.

Beyond logistics, this week was also about building trust and understanding. Taking the time to get to know each other—both within our team and with our client—helped shape a sense of purpose and direction. Even in these early stages, I can already feel the momentum beginning to build.

I’m looking forward to diving deeper into the company’s brand and challenges next week as we begin shaping creative strategies. If this first week is any indication, we’re in for a meaningful and rewarding journey.
