Paz now interning at Paz

My design adven­ture in main­land Europe has now fin­ished. I’ve had some great exper­i­ences in the last nine months tast­ing both design edu­ca­tion and the pub­lish­ing industry in Switzer­land and Ger­many. I’ve met some amaz­ing people and learnt a lot about the industry and myself. I’ve learnt that I should use the three years of my degree to get the abso­lute most of my time as a design stu­dent. This has led me to the decision to take a year out after my exchange semester in Zurich, to gain some invalu­able work exper­i­ence and be bet­ter pre­pared for my final year at uni­ver­sity as well as the ‘real life’. After serving a three-months edit­or­ial design intern­ship at one of Germany´s most respec­ted news­pa­pers, I have now returned to Bris­tol and will use the next few months for per­sonal devel­op­ment. This basic­ally means that I am intern­ing at myself, try­ing out the life of a freel­an­cer and mak­ing use of all the learn­ing resources out there that I’ve never had time for until now. I can learn whatever I want, whenever I want and as much as I want. Some­thing tells me that this is gonna rock!

The only thing that upsets me a little bit is that the view has changed from lovely moun­tains and excit­ing trains to vic­torian ter­raced houses and a brick wall. Ah well, can’t have everything.
