My internship with Nissan North America provided valuable experience working in a corporate environment, specifically within the Social Media Customer Experience (SMCX) department. I participated in weekly meetings, collaborated on diverse tasks, and primarily assisted with upgrading surprise and delight care packages for customers. I also worked on logo design for Dealer X and Nissan Pay, created engaging stickers for various Nissan models, and designed retro t-shirts for the Xterra, Nissan Z, and Arizona Nissan test track. This internship enhanced my graphic design skills and gave me insight into the communication and professionalism required in a large company. I had the privilege to go to Nissan's headquarters in May to meet the team in person and see how they operate first hand.
Dealer X
Designing the logo for Dealer X, I aimed to instill a sense of movement within the design, symbolizing progress and forward thinking. The logo is internal facing that will be used for dealerships in North America
Nissan Pay
Tasked with creating a logo for Nissan Pay, I aimed to represent the concept of money. With this in mind, I designed a recognizable symbol that customers would associate with Nissan Pay.
"I just wanted to take a moment to congratulate you on the fantastic work you've done for our team. Your dedication, positive attitude, and creativity have truly made a significant impact! I am proud of the progress you've made and the innovative ideas you've brought to SMCX. I particularly LOVE the stickers you created for the brand - they are not only creative but also visually stunning! Your passion for design is truly inspiring. As you move forward, I want to wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors. Keep up the great work and continue to infuse your creativity into everything you do. We're all rooting for your success!"

"Max started with our team in late January and was instrumental in creating many new and innovative creative items for our team. They range from creating the new DealerX logo, updating our Nissan coloring book, creating a new INFINITI coloring book, designing model-specific stickers, the “ I Nissan/INFINITI” stickers were one of first projects, creating GIFs (see below) for us to use in customer engagements, about 10 other sticker designs, t-shirt and poster designs, our new Mileage MILEstone stickers for both brands (ranging from 1 mile to 1 Million +), helping bring to life some Customer Journey process maps, and a bunch of other stuff I am forgetting to mention.
