Description of the Organization
Autonomic was born in 2012 with one goal, to create quality clothes for more than one type of person. We are like you and want unique clothing that expresses your attitude all while being stylish. We pour our blood, sweat, and tears into our products, all for you. There's nothing like seeing a design start as a sketch, transform to a shirt and end up on a rack. Our owner, Sean Zubrickas, wanted to be as far from "cookie-cutter" as possible while still appealing to our generation. Let's be real, they are JUST clothes, but it's the way they make you feel. It's the mood they put you in when you throw on your favorite shirt. That is what makes our styles more than JUST clothes. We firmly believe in quality over quantity. We're not the big guys spitting out designs left and right. We hand pick our very best so that you don't have to search through hundreds of shirts to find the one you're looking for. We also know that you don't want to go broke while looking good. We produce our shirts on high quality, soft material all at a price that won't break the bank. Our drive comes from our combined passion for fashion and everything around it. Creative concepts and thinking outside of the box is what sets us apart. We hope you see that in our products.
Description of the Tasks/Projects Completed
Throughout the internship, I was required to create and maintain relationships with local store owners in the greater Grand Rapids area. I developed relationships with business owners who could potentially sell ATNMC clothing in their stores.
Skills/Knowledge Gained Through The Experience
I gained experience in sales. It is challenging to be a representative, but with my experience through ATNMC I was able to become a better sales representative.
Favorite Part of the Experience
My favorite part was receiving clothing merchandise and busies cards, since my internship was unpaid!
How the Experience Influenced Future Career Goals
This internship gave me experience that I know will help me with my future career. Having sales skills is an important part of the business world. I respect the integrity of small business owner, and know the challenges they face. This experience was overall positive, and it excites me to see what my future has in store for me.
