Alan Pigram reflects on his summer internship

I’d like to acknowledge the CareerTrackers program, and my advisor Melissa, for their tremendous work in placing Indigenous students in meaningful internships. Through the CareerTrackers program, the face of corporate Australia will change, I truly believe that.

This reflection upon myself, my experience and my surroundings encourages the opportunity to really appreciate the time I’ve spent with The Fulcrum Agency. I have thoroughly enjoyed every second of my internship. Design plays such a pivotal role in the way messages are perceived and I want to leverage my skills to spark change and create lasting experiences for people. I’d like to thank the team for their support, hospitality, wisdom and guidance during my time here. In Yawuru language, mabu liyan means ‘a place of good spirit’ and to me, The Fulcrum Agency is mabu liyan for sure.

+ Alan Pigram is a second year Graphic Design student at Curtin University and he came to us through our involvement with the CareerTrackers Indigenous internship program. We have loved every minute of having Alan in our studio; he has made a huge contribution to the way in which we communicate our work to the communities with whom we work. With Alan’s love of music, art and a good laugh, he fit perfectly into the ways of our studio. He even braved his own ‘Tuesday Lunch’ – making a delicious satay noodle salad for us all. We’re looking forward to him returning soon.
