During my senior year at Drake University, I was chosen to be one of three design apprentices with the Meredith Apprentice Program. During my first semester, I worked on the tablet edition of Lowe’s Creative Ideas magazine, and prepared images for the web. During my second semester, I worked with the paid digital product team designing e-books for various Meredith brands, including Better Homes and Gardens. Through the apprenticeship program, I was able to see so many different sides of the publishing industry, from touring the test kitchen to assisting at photo shoots.
