Meet Our Spring Interns for 2015

Each year, Designsensory provides college students an opportunity to develop their skills with internships dedicated to giving the best experiences possible in an agency setting. Interns Alex Hunt, Greg Simpson and Alyssa Garbien are currently with us for the spring semester.

Alex Hunt

Alex, research and strategy intern from Morristown, TN, is a senior at the University of Tennessee and will graduate with a bachelor’s in advertising and with minors in business and psychology. When Alex isn’t at the office, she plays intramural soccer and is learning fun things to cook at home, such as zucchini and pita pizzas. Alex likes that Designsensory is a small, tight-knit group. She thoroughly enjoys the freedom she has to learn more about the advertising industry and the experiences she is getting in the field.

“Advertising is constantly evolving and becoming more effective and efficient,” says Alex. “It keeps you on your toes. If you want to stay current in this industry, you have to always be learning, reading and adapting.”

In the future, she wants to work where she can enjoy the type of work that she is doing now.

Greg Simpson

Greg is a web developer intern from Bristol, VA, and a senior in computer science at UT. Greg is not only a huge Game of Thrones fan but enjoys working on cars, attending shows and spending time playing video games to unwind. Greg likes the friendliness of Designsensory staffers and their passion for what they do. He feels good about the staff’s helpful approach and has a deep appreciation for the support shown him by team members Michael Pryfogle and Ian Fitz.

“I love working with software because of all the unique challenges and problems I get to solve,” Greg observes. “It keeps my brain busy and lets me be creative in how I go about approaching a problem and finding the solution.”

Greg is most interested in a job in software development engineering and architecting, but his overall goal is to work with a great team to collaborate on ideas.

Alyssa Garbien

Alyssa is a public relations and strategy intern from Shelton, CT. She is a senior at UT, pursuing a degree in communication studies. Alyssa enjoys hiking, attending concerts, the ocean, traveling, and playing board and card games. Alyssa likes the diverse range of clients and projects at Designsensory.

“I absolutely love the public relations side because of how creative you get to be,” Alyssa says. “It gives me a good feeling to know that I just helped a company or organization grow, even if what I contributed was a minor task.”

She likes working in an agency because she enjoys the close relationships the employees have with one another. In the future, she hopes to work in an agency and be involved with a nonprofit organization.
