Reflection on Work Experience at EpikOne

I started as a freelance web/graphic designer during High School, continuing to run a side business through college. I have always wondered what it would be like to work in an environment other than freelancing. As years went by I started to get sick of the freelance environment. I wanted to be surrounded by something a little more interactive and working with other people. EpikOne solved that problem for me. The internship couldn't have come at a more perfect time.

The first couple of days at EpikOne was very different than what I was use to. The fact that I am around other people who are doing similar jobs and projects that relate to my major makes working that much more interesting.

What really makes EpikOne work for me is the work environment and the people. The first thing I saw and loved about their office is how it is all open with no cubicals. The design of the office really completes the work environment. If EpikOne was set up as a old fashion cubical styled office, I probably would not be interested in interning here. Along with the work environment, the people who work at EpikOne are very friendly and make you feel comfortable working here.

The projects that I have been working on throughout the Spring vary from designing to developing. I have been making ads for Seminars For Success and also ads for their product Analytics View. Creating ads such as the ones I have been working on at EpikOne was new to me, but it is great to get projects that are new to you to get some experience in that field. While designing these ads, I am trying to design them effectively so a prospective client will look at the ad, catch their eye and take them to view more information about that certain product.

Overall, working at EpikOne has been a great experience. It is a great change of pace to the freelance world. Working here showed me that I do like this type of work environment and would love to work at a place similar to this in the future. The office, work, and people make interning at EpikOne an enjoyable learning experience.
