Sandy
Product Designer at the New York Times
Former Art Teacher
“After completing my boot camp, I discovered I needed more real-world experience in product design. I also needed to gain an understanding of working on cross-functional teams. Preintern filled in all the knowledge gaps and taught me what working in design would look like in the real world.
I took everything I learned at Preintern and applied it to the design work I was doing in my current role. I could lead discovery sessions, help with product road mapping, and lead meetings with developers. I became comfortable doing all this because of Preintern. My experience at Preintern set me apart from other designers who completed a boot camp but needed industry experience.”

Not only did we learn the technicals, but we’ve built genuine connections that seem like we’ve known each other for years. I am forever grateful for our time shared.
I am immensely proud of everyone I’ve worked with and will not so humbly say they are some of the most talented, efficient, and amazing people you may meet. Our goal is to offer the world a diverse group of leaders who will shape the future of technology for many years to come.
Of course, none of this would be possible without our fearless and ingenious leader, Al. Thank you a million times over.“
