Steven Hart

IT/Interactive Media/ Graphic Design Intern        

Majors: Visual Arts and Computer Science

Expected Graduation: May 2013

Internship Site:  Distrophonix 

I work about 20 hours/week in a small office in Baltimore with 3-5 coworkers.  For the most part, I alter/improve the functionality of the Distrophonix website, as well as create graphics and images for the site.  I also get to provide input about the user interface and design of the website and its development.

Benefits of Interning:

The benefits of working at this internship over the Summer was not only to stay busy and productive, but to also introduce myself to a corporate environment while learning more about my interests.

“I liked my internship a lot because the Shriver Center let me find a niche position for both my passions – programming and visual arts.  It was a casual environment where I could extend my programming skills as well as develop my portfolio.”
