Blog #16
Tuesday, May 8
Internship time: 6.5 hours
Blog time: 30 mins
TOTAL: 7 hours
Today was another really cool day. We worked at the Canopy again in Jackson Square downtown today which is my favorite space to be in. I love my internship for a plethora of reasons but mainly because Elise challenges me. Today I came in, we reviewed what my "homework" was last night, and then she asked me how familiar I was and how good I am with building websites/figuring out technology stuff. I said "well Elise funny you ask I am technologically challenged". She smiled and told me "perfect!" this a great opportunity for you to learn is what she said. She basically had me create a 'Shopify' for paradox which is new software that allows Instagram viewers to see an image and click on it to order it. Creating a brand's Shopify website is actually really difficult and I was very unfamiliar with the software but she just threw me into it and told me to figure it out. I was stressing out so much (in my head) and I was like there is NO WAY I am going to be able to figure it out. Sure enough, I figured it out and 3 hours later I had a product that I was really happy with and proud of. It's really cool because whenever she tells me to start a project I dread it and think that I'll never be able to figure it out by every single time I grow from the experience and I learn SO MUCH. I am really proud of myself today and I'm really thankful (in the end) that she doesn't accept no as an answer from me. I feel like I am learning a million new things every day which is a really great feeling. The other half of the day was spent learning by practice on how to do product placement photoshoots and I got some really great shots. THEN I began working on a secret project with her that involved social media and photography which was THE BEST EVER. I'm really happy.
