I love staying busy and while I was job searching I wanted to do some volunteering on the side. Luckily for me, I was able to assist as a volunteer for AIGA during Baltimore Design Week as a photographer. I went to three amazing studio tours and was half fly on the wall half eager participant who got to see an in-depth and inside look at three innovation creative agencies. The studios we saw were Havas Helia, Jellyfish, and Exit 10. Baltimore is a creative and bustling city and to be able to work with other like-minded artistic individuals seems like a great way to live. The day was truly inspiring and motivated me even more in the search for my own fulfilling job, I was even able to hand out a few business cards while networking. I’d definitely say it was a fun and productive day. I can’t wait to go to more AIGA events!
