Design Management and Culture
One step closer to the future
I have started my first Researcher Internship in Design Do Korea. I was lucky enough to step into the world of branding and work with new people and partner companies. I have been running around, researching markets and design trends, analysing consumers and organising design samples, events. I also assisted at a photo shoot sometimes.

What have I learnt through Design Do?
Through this internship, I could feel that whatever I do, I need to remember that every work-experience allows me to learn from my mistakes and find new ways of overcoming challenges. ​
Based on my experience, what would I advise anyone trying to get some invaluable work experience?
Here are my Individual perspectives do and don’ts when interning :
  1. Do not ask a stupid question, do not question everything only for its own sake. Be curious, show your interest and passion for learning new things but do not overdo it. Enough is enough and remember people have other things to do and cannot concentrate all their efforts only on you. Be helpful, not helpless!
  2. Be yourself and trust yourself. Stop pretending and trying to be someone else. Just be. You might need help and advice when you are doing your works but sometimes a helpful advice many of us have received multiple times from many different sides. So first, you need to trust yourself and be confident after that, listen to other people’s opinions.
  3. Do not be afraid to take initiative! Using your common sense will not hurt and, as long as you double-check with your supervisor, it is always good to go the extra mile and do something extra.
  4. Always smile! People are so much happier to help if you are nice to them and show real excitement! There is nothing easier than to prove that you really appreciate others’ time and knowledge than an honest smile.
Never give up and stay passionate even if you are only completing the most basic tasks. It does not matter what you do but how you do it.
