My internship title was Creative/Graphic Design Intern with BitGlim in Seoul, South Korea. My primary responsibilities in this role included creating 2D and 3D art.
How did you obtain your internship? What resources did you utilize to secure your internship?
I obtained my internship through the MSU Study Abroad portal, specifically the Seoul Study Abroad Internship program. I applied through this portal and was accepted into the CRCC Asia program, which served as the agency facilitating interviews with multiple companies in Korea.

What did your daily routine include?
My daily routine involved arriving at work and focusing on creating 2D and 3D art using Cinema 4D.

One of my favorite experiences was experimenting with my creativity to develop digital art for Bitglim. A particularly memorable project involved modeling an Oreo and rendering it to appear as a glass-like object, which was both a challenging and fulfilling creative endeavor.
What was your least favorite part of the internship?
The lack of remote work options was likely my least favorite aspect, as it restricted flexibility and the potential for a more adaptable work environment.
