Interning at Original Protein Co. was an invaluable experience that provided me with a comprehensive understanding of startup dynamics. The flexible hours allowed me to balance my summer while contributing meaningfully to the company's growth.
Being part of a startup pushed me out of my comfort zone, enabling me to collaborate across various areas, including web design, sales, and marketing. This exposure was unique to a startup environment and enriched my professional skill set.
I was encouraged to think independently and share my ideas, fostering a sense of ownership and confidence in my contributions. The mentorship and collaborative culture at Original Protein Company were instrumental in my personal and professional development.
This internship not only enhanced my business acumen but also deepened my appreciation for the multifaceted nature of startups.

Original Protein Company was my first real step into a marketing role — I’m originally from Mexico, so this was both a professional and cultural experience for me!
While here, I worked on giving a fresh touch to what was already created. Together with Ryan, we reworked logo ideas and designed the main label for the product, giving each salsa its own unique personality and a more creative vibe.
It was such a fun experience and I loved being able to add my own style and ideas to the project.

My experience as a Business Development intern at OPC was very enjoyable. Being a part of the company during its early stages, I was able to learn a lot directly from Ryan regarding sales, communication, marketing, and web development. These skills were not only fun to learn and improve upon, but I also got a sense of direction regarding what I wanted to potentially get into in the future. I really enjoyed my time at OPC because I felt as if my work had a meaningful impact on the company, and I want to thank Ryan for giving me that opportunity. Plus the salsas are pretty great as well :)

Original Protein Co. gave me my first experience as an intern.
I had hands-on experience working directly with Ryan, translating creative direction into real-world brand materials. I collaborated on packaging, social media content, and visual strategy, gaining a strong understanding of professional design processes and client communication.
This role allowed me to expand my technical and conceptual design skills while contributing to a brand focused on innovation and clean nutrition.
