The Pitch
I am a high school student competing for a creative internship usually filled by college candidates, and I am not asking anyone to lower the bar. My work does the talking. I draw, paint, and design across nine traditional mediums, I know Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, and I can take a concept and carry it all the way to a finished piece that holds up on a wall or a screen. For a landscaping design firm that needs ideas rendered with clarity and confidence, I bring perspective drawing, color command, and a habit of finishing what I start.
Honest framing: Vinn is a current high school student. These figures reflect real high school achievement, presented to stand alongside college intern candidates without overstating experience.
