As Tria's graphic designer, I perform a wide variety of tasks, working with projects in both the digital and print forms. Working alongside marketing specialists and web developers, I supply the visuals to meet the needs of a client. This can take many shapes, including business cards, logos, websites, brochures or even large printed displays. And even that doesn't begin to cover all of the things I get to create on a daily basis. No two projects are alike, making every day a brand new experience and allowing me to constantly grow as a designer.

Working for Truscott Rossman is a wonderful opportunity for any young professional. It is far from a “normal” internship, which was exactly what I was looking for! Interns at TR are held to the highest of standards. We help out with numerous things in the office such as writing press releases and media advisories, participating in meetings, strategic communications planning, advancing our clients’ social media outlets, planning special events and creating promotional materials. Each of us has our own specialty, which creates a versatile intern team.
