Last Things
Hello, as I wrap up my time as an STA, here is what I was working on. I finished some Photo IDs in the past week and made edits to the Brand training I mentioned last time. Sorry about the briefness, I am running out of time!
and Farewell
Dear Design STAs and Staff:
Goodbyes make me extremely emotional, and I think it’s best that we just let the goodbye run its emotional course at maximum. Thank you all so much for letting me be a part of this wonderful team. Despite only being here for one year, I feel as if I have learned so much. During my time as an STA, I gained so much knowledge in the Adobe Suite, web development, teamwork (all virtual too), and communication, to name a few. Though there is still a long ways to go, the opportunity to develop these skills and work on design projects with a team like this was something I could have only dreamed of.
To Suloni, Valerie, and Maddy, you were the best supervisors. Thank you so much for being supportive, accommodating, super intelligent, and kind. Your mentorship and feedback on every project was much appreciated, and it felt great to be respected and given agency. It was awesome to be guided by each of your individual perspectives on design and life!
To the STAs, I am so honored to have worked on projects with you and learned about your relationships to art and design. We shared some good laughs ha ha ha and each one of you all are so talented, creative, and empathetic. I wish you all good luck in the future, and I hope you all have a wonderful school year!
There are so many things in the world that are just like you don’t know what you don’t know, and I feel as if being an STA has opened my mind to some of those things like in art, occupations, and general knowledge. And I feel like it has made me a better person which is cool and groovy. I am incredibly thankful for my time appointed as an STA, and most importantly I am so thankful for my time with each of you all! I hope I can visit again one day, and please please stay in touch!
Thank you thank you thank you so so much,
Athena Zeng
