Client Spotlight: Internship alumni Philippa - Copywriter
After graduating from university, Philippa stepped into her first professional role, still figuring out her long-term career aspirations. Unsure of the path ahead, she decided to join Studio Self-Made’s Digital Internship, hoping it might offer the guidance she needed to set clear goals and begin working towards them.
Through the program, Philippa discovered the power of goal-setting and learned how to break down her ambitions into actionable steps.

Philippa’s journey highlights the importance of balancing ambition with self-care and achieving success on her own terms.
I have learnt so much from the sessions! But one thing that stands out in particular is learning the importance of prioritising self-care and how to fit this into my schedule. Today I still use and rely on the energy tracker and self-care habits that I set through the internship!
