In my last blog post I discussed my internship with Meagan Kelly Designs. This week I want to share another amazing company I have been fortunate enough to work for called Mieszko Art.
Mieszko Art is a small company based in Boone, NC. Art has been a life-long source of expression for Mieszko Kwiatkowski, an individual with Down Syndrome who began painting at the age of three. The business helps Mieszko get his artwork out to the public, while also helping him become more financially independent. The goal of Mieszko Art is to show others that people with intellectual disabilities can be important players in the business world if they are given the chance to showcase their abilities.
My role within the company is the Design Intern. In this position I am responsible for everything from designing products with Mieszko's paintings, to branding the company. In this position I have to work a lot with time management in order to grow several areas of the company cohesively. I also rely strongly on my communication skills to meet with clients and to make sure i'm accurately representing the artists wants when designing products.
Working for Mieszko art has been the most rewarding experience. I not only get to do what love but I also get to work for a company that has a cause that is very dear to my heart. As I continue developing products and working with Mieszko Art I plan to post more on Mieszko & his incredible art. So stay tuned!
