Creating our own product was already "creative," but what really made it creative was solving all the different problems that we encountered. The pressure of the deadline we were given came with a couple of unexpected mistakes and problems. The daily planner we created went through some manufacturing problems that caused the planner not to arrive on time, so we improvised and offered the planner digitally. Coming up with creative ideas to solve our problems was a big part of this internship.
