Ah, the summer internship. It’s where young designers get a chance to ply their craft, meet quick-turn deadlines, work within branding guidelines, and specify Pantone colors.

They also get to tackle the unsavory office jobs that no one else wants to do, like organizing old paperwork, hand-feeding the copier paper, and picking up the day’s order from Starbucks. It makes me nostalgic for my own days as a Zoltun intern!

This is me during my intern days at Zoltun. Rick hired me the day this photo was snapped.

 

This season, we’re welcoming Chris DeMichiei, who is not only a design student at Seton Hill,
but is also the nephew of Renee, Director of Business Development at Zoltun. But don’t let the family
connection fool you. Chris’s design skills pack a punch. In fact, I almost feel bad sending him on a mere coffee run.

Great curls run in the DeMichiei family. Aren’t you jealous of those locks?

Now Chris, about that coffee…
