WHAT HAS YOUR WORK AT ASTRO CONSISTED OF?

- Optimization of the workflow of the mobile application and development of a new functionality
- Social Media content
- Storyboarding, video recording and editing
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS COMPANY FOR YOUR INTERNSHIP?
I was very clear that I wanted to work for a startup in a Nordic country. I wanted to immerse myself in a new business culture.
HOW IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE TEAM?
It has been an excellent relationship. The startup team has great communication and I have felt very integrated in it.
OF WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED IN SCHOOL, WHAT DO YOU THINK HAS BEEN USEFUL FOR YOUR INTERNSHIP?
I have put into practice the knowledge acquired in the subjects of Typography, UX/UI and Advertising. All the software learning acquired throughout these three years of training has also been very useful to me.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THIS EXPERIENCE?
At Astro I have learned the basics of design and how to work in an agile environment. In addition, I have met nice people. This experience has a lot of value for me. I feel that it has helped me to grow as a professional. I also greatly appreciate the opportunity it has given me to discover a new culture and mindset.
AFTER THIS WORK EXPERIENCE, DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE WORKING IN A FEW YEARS?
I’m still trying to figure that out. It’s too early to tell.
