ABI Program & Internship Review

The Artbound Initiative Program has been an invaluable asset in my development as a designer. I first learned about it while studying at university in 2023. Initially skeptical, I was encouraged to join by my peers who had taken the course and by my lecturers, all of whom highly recommended it.

The program's support was greatly helpful. The team provided me lots of information and resources that were instrumental in kickstarting my career, particularly in the early stages of reaching out to companies, promoting my work, and networking. I connected with creative professionals who offered insightful feedback and guidance, which was crucial in my journey.

There were some challenges, such as attracting the attention of well-known studios and agencies in Sydney and Melbourne, and finding suitable accommodation, for which ABI offered minimal assistance. However, I was able to resolve these issues on my own.

Overall, I am grateful for the Artbound Initiative. Without their support, I wouldn't have been able to leverage the skills I gained during my studies or navigate the process of reaching out to design studios and marketing agencies.
