“[…] it was an experience I will never forget […]” – that’s only a short excerpt of what we actually received from Miriam Spalińska, Year 13th student & a true artist after completing an internship at the Umbruch creative agency in Munich.

“This summer I spent 3 weeks in Munich on an internship at the Umbruch creative agency and it was an experience I will never forget. During my time there I met and worked with amazing, enthusiastic people and was able to get hands-on experience with professional-grade software such as Adobe Animate CC and Adobe After Effects.

I spent the first week mostly working on drawing exercises and story ideas. The following two weeks I was able to create, storyboard and animate my own short story.

This was a wonderful and eye-opening experience for me not only because it allowed me to work with and learn from professionals, but also because the time spent in a foreign country by myself for those three weeks were unlike what I had experienced before.

I feel that the entire trip made me grow not only artistically and intellectually but also as a person. I am extremely grateful both to Akademeia for its support and to Umbruch for the opportunity, for their kindness and for making me feel a part of the family. This trip is something that I will always keep in my heart and in my mind.”
