“This internship has made this summer one of my best summers yet. Not only did I get to meet so many other interns who I can see as life long friends, but I also got to work in a field I was very interested in and got to learn that UX design is something I enjoy doing. I really got to learn a lot, create and contribute to their ongoing project, as well as have fun at the same time. I looked forward going to work everyday.”
