Introduction
I’m Pallavi Dahiwelkar, and I had the incredible opportunity to join Abhyaz as a Canva/Photoshop Design Intern since 15 January, 2025. As my internship comes to a close, I’m excited to share my journey, which was filled with creativity, collaboration, and career-defining experiences.
My Experience
From day one, I was immersed in real-time projects that challenged and expanded my design skills. My responsibilities were diverse and impactful, including:
- Designing banners, brochures, logos, and social media posts for platforms like LinkedIn and Twitter.
- Editing YouTube videos and shorts, and producing visual content for promotional and testimonial videos.
- Performing voiceovers for Abhyaz CRS videos.
- One of my most key contributions was editing a IIMC Interview Video.
To bring all these ideas to life, I worked extensively with:
- Canva – for all my design creations.
- Zoho Social – for scheduling and managing social media posts.
- Zoho Campaigns – to build and streamline email marketing campaigns.
- Eleven Labs – to explore AI voice generation.
- GitHub – for tracking and updating design tasks.
Working across these tools has not only enhanced my technical proficiency but also taught me how to manage workflows more effectively in a professional setting.
Key Takeaways
1.Creative Precision: From mood boards to final drafts, I learned the importance of detail and consistency, making sure every design met the brand’s visual tone and the client’s expectations.
2.Effective Communication: Constant collaboration with mentors and interns improved my ability to communicate design ideas clearly, take constructive feedback, and deliver projects aligned with stakeholder goals.
3.Adaptability: Shifting between different projects, from a social media posts to a video edit, strengthened my ability to think flexibly while maintaining high creative standards.
4.Technical Skill Growth: Mastering platforms like Canva, Zoho tools, and Eleven Labs allowed me to execute marketing strategies with greater confidence and skill.
5.Content Strategy & Workflow Management: Whether it was a social post or an email campaign, I got to understand the complete lifecycle of content, planning, designing, publishing, and analysing.
Conclusion
Interning at Abhyaz has been a transformative experience. It wasn’t just about designing, it was about storytelling, and contributing to real-world business needs. I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity, and I can confidently say that the skills, knowledge, and growth I gained here have set a strong foundation for my creative career ahead.
