Hello Friend,
I am seven months out of college, working as an information designer at Tremendousness. I was first introduced to this place while attending Maryville University in Saint Louis and I currently work remotely from my hometown in Olathe, Kansas.
During my time as an intern, I wasted a lot of energy feeling intimidated in my new environment. I forgot that the purpose of my internship was to grow as a designer. But my mentors knew that I was here to learn, and they believed in my potential—and that was enough. Today I am thankful to be a part of a creative community that shows grace in times of imperfection and excitement in small victories. That was all I really hoped for in a workplace.
I have learned many things about animation, design, and interactive during my time at Tremendousness, but my greatest lesson was learning to feel comfortable in the unknown, and practicing patience in times of doubt.
So here are a few tips and tricks I picked up along the way. I hope this helps my fellow twenty-somethings out there who are also trying to find their way in this new chapter of our lives.
