I interned at Shakedown Street, where I supported social media content, organized product displays, and helped host an event. This experience gave me hands on insight into small business operations and customer engagement.
Final Project Outcome
This project is a visual summary of my work at Shakedown Street. It features some images from videos I did and a picture with Vicki and the other interns from the event we hosted. This highlights my involvement in content creation, event planning, and engaging the community both online and in person.
What I did
During my internship at Shakedown Street, I helped manage the shop’s social media presence by creating and posing content. I also assisted with product display, making sure the store looked organized, visually appealing, and aligned with the brand’s style. In addition, I helped plan and host a celebration/fundraiser, supporting customer engagement and creating a positive experience for visitors.
What I learned
Through these tasks, I learned how to create consistent and effective social media content that matches a business’s identity and goals. I developed a stronger eye for visual merchandising and how product placement can influence customer interest. Hosting an event also taught me how to communicate with customers, multitask under pressure, and help build a welcoming atmosphere for the community. I also learned how to communicate effectively with other businesses.
