I'm so glad that I was chosen to participate in this internship program with LES Downtown. Lisa was my boss and mentor. She is positive, amazing, and an independent woman who does not judge any gender or race. As a boss, she offered many opport...
unities and space for us to think outside the box, while also giving us a bigger picture to strive for through the tasks that she assigned. She was always in good spirits and made us excited to work with her. She was always there for us, and when we did not understand an assignment, she always contacted us and patiently explained the task at hand until we had a clear understanding. She made us think about the bigger picture as a designer, as well as an employee to the designer, in order to improve the business aspect of the brand. Lisa always asked for our feedback and cared about our thoughts. She managed to help form the good relationships between me and my other classmates during this internship. This has been one of the most positive experiences I've had in high school, and she was a major part of that." - Intern Natalia Peralta (High School of Fashion Industries-Class of 2022)
