Summary
In Fall 2025 I had the opportunity to co-op at Messer Construction, headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. Joining the Pursuit Marketing team as a Graphic Designer, I collaborated on marketing proposals supporting new construction business development across Messer's 12 regional offices. Working alongside teams in Construction Safety, Virtual Design Construction, Operations, and Business Development gave me a unique perspective on how design functions inside a large scale organization. Messer's culture and the talent across that network made it one of the most memorable experiences of my co-op career.
While I was deeply engaged in the collaborative content at Messer the rest of my projects were confidential but I am happy to answer questions regarding my experience!
Key Takeaways
Collaboration is a crucial building block for my professional development. They aren't going to bite, take some chances, learn new experiences, connect with some new amazing people.
Adaptability in the workplace is crucial to success even if you don't want to do it. People are willing to teach you new experiences and that will give you a knowledge boost, never turn down experiences that will teach you new things.
Flexibility in the workplace comes from trust and communication. Being able to clearly and concisely communicate my needs makes it easier on everyone not just me.
Co-op Highlights
Huge thank you to my mentors Angelee H. & Lindsey M. Additional thanks to Will J. and the Pursuit Marketing team for making my final co-op an amazing experience.
