“As an intern who is focused primarily on writing and editing for Pattern’s projects such as 11th & Capitol, Volume 26, the online newsletter, and their upcoming Volume 27, my time has been full of exciting experiences getting to know Indiana’s creative avenues and the lessons in being a writer and team player. Working in a professional environment like Pattern has helped elevate my knowledge and style of writing in ways I hadn’t been able to before.”

“My editors have pushed me to dedicate the same amount of effort to writing my questions as I do my article, and it’s paid off. I can feel my prose becoming leaner and more impactful. Most importantly, I’ve met so many amazing people through my work for Pattern.”

“This internship has shown me so many different aspects of the city and introduced me to so many interesting people who truly care about Indy. The best part of working here has been getting to use my skills in real ways that are actually seen by people and not just filed away into an instructor’s USB drive.”

“A highlight of the summer was whenever the other interns and I got to explore Indy passing out magazines or getting content for Instagram. I leave every day feeling energized and inspired. I can’t wait to see where this experience will take me. Pattern has treated me incredibly well, and I will be lucky to find such a cool workplace in the future.”

“For a long time, I was a part of the group that thought there wasn’t much going on in the creative scene in Indiana. Oh boy, was I wrong. There are so many creative folks here! I’m very grateful to Pattern for being an access point to Indiana’s creative community. I’m proud to be part of the creative scene and to support the creative economy.”
