HELLO, I'M

MADELINE WALES

About

ABOUT

I am currently attending Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, and am actively looking for a 2022–2023 internship to further my skills in packaging design, print production, and/or graphic design.

My experience encompasses the Adobe Creative Cloud suite, short-term print production, and designing packaging for hypothetical products, but I would love to begin applying my skills to large scale projects that have a meaningful impact.

The Cal Poly Corporation has employed me for a few years which has prepared me for entering the workforce outside of my college campus.
