What was the easiest part of the internship application process?

The easiest part was working with AIC and how responsive and helpful the team was whenever I had any questions or needed assistance.

Tell us about the placement process:

I had a consultation with the local German AIC staff so they could understand what my professional interests and goals were. I let them know that I was interested in fashion and graphic design, and they set me up with a men’s fashion start-up. It was a perfect fit.

What kind of professional network did you build while on the program?

Through AIC we attended start-up events and met young entrepreneurs and professionals who gave us advice on starting our careers. I met a lot of fellow students who were doing an exchange or internship in Berlin. We became close friends and traveled around Europe together during our stay.

Liam's internship experience

What was your role at your internship at Papas Shorts in Berlin?

I had an amazing time working with co-founders Tom and Robert at Papas Shorts, as the in-house graphic designer. I worked on a variety of projects, from designing internal presentations to studio photography and videography for new products.

What was the biggest takeaway from Papas Shorts?

I’ve always been interested in starting my own fashion label, and Tom & Robert showed me that it’s possible. They gave me a lot of insight into their funding and the sourcing & manufacturing of the clothing. A highlight for me was cycling around Berlin shooting a video for Papas Shorts’ YouTube channel!
