Laura used to work with us here at Colosoul, so we thought we'd catch up with her to see what she's been up to! Have a read of what she had to say and check out some of the amazing work she did here.
How did you find out
about Colosoul?
A friend told me about
Colosoul when I was looking for an internship that could give me practical
experience in design and improve my English skills. It’s quite hard to break
into the industry without experience and when I saw the Colosoul website, I was
excited to be a part of this amazing company. Without Tricia’s help, I would
never have been able to share what I learnt at Colosoul.
What did you do when
you worked with us?
Colosoul gave me the
opportunity to explore different ways I could express myself as a designer. I
created all the graphic design for Colosoul such as business cards, posters,
and Christmas cards. I created publicity for the different events,
illustrations of the first book Bird on a Wire, designed a “lookbook" in
fashion retail and promoted Colosoul on the internet. I also had the
opportunity to learn new skills in graphic design software.
What did you like
most about working with Colosoul?
Oh my god where to
begin?! The environment where you can create together makes Colosoul such an
amazing place to explore your thoughts. It gives you the opportunity to work
with people that can share their culture and similar experiences. I think it is
such an inspiration for youth to get involved in a place where you can discover
what you’re best at and work towards your professional pathway.
Do you feel like
Colosoul helped you with your career path, and how?
Colosoul has been a
great career opener for me. It is quite difficult to get job opportunities in Colombia
– even if you’ve worked and studied overseas. By working at Colosoul, even
though English isn’t my native language, I gained so much confidence as a
designer to realize what I want to do and what my strengths are. My bilingual
skills improved through Colosoul which made me much more competitive in the
industry when I returned to Colombia. I would definitely love to join Colosoul
again as a senior designer.
