Courtney Murphy
After studying Graphic Design at Yoobee, I registered for the Student Academy in 2017. I spent my internship working at printing.com in Thorndon as well as Nettl Petone and printing.com Head Office.
One of my favourite things about the internship was the fact that I felt I was learning something new every day. Working in the industry helped me to build on what I had learnt through study as well as develop and broaden my skills as a designer.
After finishing my internship I’m now working as a web and graphic designer with Nettl and printing.com
Katie DeRuiter
At the end of 2017 I had finished my Bachelor of Design degree at Massey and was looking for jobs within the design field. Someone I knew recommended the Redshift Student Academy and I thought it was a great opportunity to get my foot in the design door so I applied. With the internship I worked at Redshift Head Office, printing.com Thorndon and Nettl Petone.
It was great to experience and see how design studios work, and I felt that I was learning new things every day. I was given the opportunity to work on a range of projects from social media, book formatting to web and graphic design.
I am now currently working at Nettl out in Petone as a graphic and web designer
Zak Wells
I studied Web Development and Graphic Design. As part of the internship I got to work in the Nettl Web studios in Petone and Printing.com’s head office in Grenada. During this time an opportunity opened up, and I’m now working as a web developer & web support specialist in head office.
The internship was a great opportunity to get a foot in the door as well as a very good stepping stone into the industry. As part of my role I help out the Nettl and printing.com studios with any tech related queries and problems. I also do a bunch of stuff on the side such as looking after AdWords and the Printing.com website
Elliot Sturzaker
In late 2017 I registered for the Redshift student academy while studying Web & Ux Design at Yoobee School of Design. Throughout my internship I worked at Nettl Petone, Printing.com Thorndon and Redshift head office. I got to work across a range of projects varying from small business card designs to developing code for large scale websites. It was great to get some proper hands on experience.
I am now working as a systems & web development specialist for Redshift in head office. My role includes a variety of IT work. I support the Nettl & Printing.com studios across New Zealand with their technical problems as well as working & building upon current projects.
