Alexandra L. Ferguson — Fri, 13 Dec 2013 16:19:23 +0000

Since the end of August, I’ve spent three days a week down on Church Street learning the inner workings of a small agency and getting a taste of what our professor’s have always been referring to as “the real world”.

This semester I find myself interning at M, a small branding, advertising and design agency in Old City.

Amazing Accomplishments Already Made, but the Journey is Far From Over

Alexandra L. Ferguson — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 19:50:48 +0000
