Cronin Internship: Summer 2025


In Summer 2025, I held a Design / Art Direction internship with Cronin, a full-service advertising and marketing agency. In partnership with a copywriting intern and collaboration with executive creative, production, and account directors, I developed distinctive ad campaigns across print and digital platforms.

10 Weeks (June-August)

Clients / My Impact




Three months of learning, 
growth, and real impact.

At Cronin, my role surpassed traditional graphic design. I contributed to every stage of the creative process, stretching from ideation and visual development to pitching and refinement. In collaboration with copyrighting intern Mia Moreno, I worked to conceptualize and design ad campaigns built for relatability and emotional resonance. Selected outcomes:

Concepted and designed three ad concepts Webster Five, Valio, and Best Life Brands: all selected for production.
    
Developed print/digital designs, creative concepts, pitch decks, web assets, mockups, and sketches; was trusted to pitch directly to clients.

Kicked off a revamp of Cronin’s site by designing new visual assets for the capabilities page.
