As summer comes to an end, so does my time here at Launch. I have learned more than I ever imagined, had experiences I never thought possible, and worked with some incredibly talented people. My time at Launch was short, but action-packed.

Some of my favorite memories of the summer were going to photo shoots, sitting in on a radio production, brainstorming concepts for new campaigns, and laughing at photoshopped internal emails I received.

However, the thing I loved most was coming in knowing that each day I’d learn something new, something I never would experience in a classroom. The most important discovery I made was how to harmonize creativity with practicality (and strategy). This is, perhaps, an “graduate level” challenge unlike any while working on my portfolio in college.

Special thanks to David Wilgus for inviting me in to look at my portfolio and taking a chance with a novice, and Diane Seimetz and Michael Boone for being exemplary bosses and setting the bar high for future employers. Also, a big thanks to Kevin Byrd and Alex Slotkin for being copywriter mentors to me. As for everyone else, you all made my time at Launch special.

Thank you for the opportunity to work with such a fun, successful company!
