The perfect opportunity to expand my design skills, and curb my wanderlust!

“Interning at Icon Worldwide, I dove head-first into the world of international advertising. As a design intern I got to work for global clients, experience the creative process from start to finish, and live in the picturesque Swiss countryside. From day 1 the Icon team made me feel right at home. Under their guidance, I created work for real clients that I was proud to put in my portfolio.

Life in Switzerland wasn’t too shabby either. In St. Gallen, I was close to many awesome European destinations, including Munich and Milan. It was easy to travel on the weekends, or great stay in town and get to know the local culture (food, beer and more food — don’t forget to ask about the Käsespätzle).

The Icon Design Internship was the perfect opportunity to expand my design skills and curb my wanderlust. No way could I have imagined a better internship experience. And guess what? With the confidence I gained from working with a top-notch international creative team and a design book that put me a step ahead of my peers, I was able to use my internship experience at Icon to find a job.”
