Student Projects
Ellie Nichols, Class of 2014
During the spring of 2013 I did an internship at Art + Commerce. Through this hands-on
experience, I learned a lot about how a successful business operates and how to interact
with managers, clients, and co-workers. My work was with the production side of Art
+ Commerce. As an intern, I was able to go on location and scout for upcoming shoots,
as well as assist on the photo shoots. In addition, I helped in-office management
with tasks like billing, hospitality work for clients (i.e. booking hotels, arranging
flights), and spreadsheet work. I also assisted the on-site casting director by photographing
models for castings and composing InDesign and PhotoShop images for clients. Each
day pulled on my knowledge of international business because each client was from
a different country, which required that I know the etiquette of each respective country.
In addition, I had to translate documents from Italian to English and later into French.
The fashion industry is a huge player in the international community, and I am happy
I was able to experience this first hand.
