NY Creative Intern event at the Wix Lounge

The event in the city at the Wix Lounge was held as a way for students looking to intern to mix and mingle with creative professionals and network. My goal for the night was to give away as many business cards as possible to get my name out there and to not miss any career opportunities that may come my way.

At first I felt it was hard to meet people, however after a little while I loosened up and found it easier to talk to people. I was approaching people and people were approaching me.

One of the most interesting people I met was Sean O'Kane. Sean was a photographer who worked for the magazine, InStyle. Sean was also a Hofstra graduate of 2008 and I spoke to him for some time.

Among others I met and exchanged business cards with was a woman named Brielle Maxwell, founder of Live with Design and Phi Pham, founder of Community Lab.
