"From the moment I saw Spencer's CV, I realized that they were going to be an exceptional intern. Their role was extremely diverse, in that they held the position of Editor's Assistant, and duly co-ordinated anything and everything from photo shoots, to visiting musical artists to measure them up for suits. They were always polite and officious, taking extreme care to ensure diaries were synchronised, meetings were scheduled and minutes were taken. Spencer intelligently interpreted a season of horoscopes, producing exquisite illustrations to match the star sign insights. Spencer is a natural leader, in that they are able to critically analyse any given brief, and find a creative solution in an editorial capacity.
Spencer has great creative vision, we regularly discussed editorial content for Voir Fashion magazine, and they were able to fine tune the right imagery to fit each story. They would wear the brand proudly when interviewing candidates for internships and always follow
up with concise paperwork with I's dotted and T's crossed. It is an absolute pleasure to be on the same team as Spencer, they will be an asset to any employer within the creative industries, and their highly personable personality will get them through any door that is big enough to accommodate their brilliance."
