A Great Introduction to the Design Industry

January 31, 2026by: Ruth Burrows - Australia

Program: Creative Internships in Melbourne

10

I completed the Artbound internship program and honestly loved it. The program helped me develop practical design skills, build confidence, and gain a clearer understanding of the type of work I want to pursue moving forward. Overall, it was a really beneficial experience and has set me up well for interviews and job applications. I feel much more prepared going into the industry.

No regrets

Program: ArtBound Initiative - Creative Internships in Berlin

10

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to intern with Art Bound Initiative and gain hands-on experience in a real office environment. I was welcomed warmly by everyone at the firm and given meaningful time, tasks, and guidance that allowed me to learn, grow, and actively contribute. I appreciated being trusted to share ideas, support senior designers, and take part in real projects, which made the experience both valuable and rewarding. Coming from Australia, this internship was also a life-changing opportunity to live and work in another country for the first time. Beyond developing my graphic design skills, I learned a great deal about myself, professional responsibility, and the art and design culture of another country. This experience has greatly enriched my knowledge, confidence, and perspective.

I had a very enriching experience, ArtBound open my way into a new world in the industry.

I was always very drawn to American media production. I grew up watching American TV shows and movies, and I was fascinated by how they were created. As a child, I often researched behind-the-scenes processes, which exposed me to American culture and values. Over time, I developed a deep appreciation for their creativity, diversity, and innovation. I love the culture, I admire the people, and I wanted to experience life in a completely different environment. Going abroad was my way of stepping out of my comfort zone, facing new challenges, and growing as a person. I wanted to meet people from different backgrounds, improve my communication skills, and gain experiences that would shape me both personally and professionally.
