Lynne from Kirkwood and Teisha
Notes from Teisha: My Name is Teisha Hills and this summer I had the privilege of interning at Merida Meridian through Youth Design Boston. I recently graduated from Boston Latin School and this fall I will be attending Boston Architectural College. This internship has been a perfect fit for me especially since I will be majoring in Interior Design, and Merida Meridian‘s prime vision is “to become the sustainable design leader in the home interior space.”
Working at Merida, I gained a lot of skills and knowledge that I am sure will be useful during my time in college and beyond. Throughout the summer I did a lot of photo editing for the website, putting together and sending out samples of rugs and flooring to different interior companies, created spread sheets with important information, worked at the front desk for the company, and even designed the front waiting area. Each day I learned something new and also got to contribute my own personal skills to the team.
This summer has by far been the best summer I have had, thanks to Youth Design. Being apart of this program has been an ultimate great experience and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. One of the things that I find the most moving for me from this summer is visiting the different organizations in Boston on our Professional Development days. Each site that we visited was very inspirational and really opened my eyes to what Boston has to offer. I am really thankful for the experience and the internship was amazing!
