“Design Workshop played a pivotal role in developing me into the man and leader I am today. The internship exposed me to diverse cultures and people from around the world. I was able to grow and spread my wings as an aspiring Landscape Architect. The culture and philosophy has undoubtedly created a solid foundation and expectation for any organization I’ve worked with since. When I left my internship, I knew what I wanted to do and how I could impact the world for the better through my career with Design Workshop. That internship gave me the motivation to chase my dreams and explore the possibilities of this world.” North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University graduate and 2007 Intern Curtis M.
