Corgan Architecture & Design Firm Co-Op | 2024
[Architecture, Interior Design, and Branded Environments]
In the spring semester of 2024, I worked as an industrial design and graphic design intern at Corgan, a leading architecture and interior design firm with 16 locations across the globe, where I worked in their headquarter office in Dallas, Texas. As an industrial design major in their Interiors Sector, more specifically in their Branded Environments team, I was lucky enough to be surrounded by individuals with many backgrounds in design: architecture, interior design, graphic design, and more. This collaborative environment allowed me to better understand the world of design and the ability to benefit from a multifaceted firm that works in areas of design most industrial designers do not often get to experience— and in return, I could share my talents with an industrial design eye.
