Natalie Bell was a former Graphic Design intern with the Robert H. Brooks Sports Science Institute. After graduating from Clemson in the spring of 2025, she is now a Graphic Designer at FerebeeLane, an advertising agency in Greenville, South Carolina.
What does a job as a Graphic Designer look like?
I do a little bit of everything! I work with my fellow designers and the account team to strategically design anything from print ads to billboards to product labels to websites- and everything in between for our clients.
How have you taken what you have learned with the Institute into what you’re doing now?
Juggling multiple design projects and ideating unique opportunities to spread brand awareness with my fellow interns at the Institute gave me a great foundation for working alongside my colleagues now!
What are your future plans looking like?
I am currently working on learning more in my field and becoming a stronger graphic designer and teammate.
What advice would you give to current students regarding the Institute?
This goes for any opportunity- but working with the Institute is what you make of it! I immersed myself with Institute projects and loved expanding my knowledge about sports science, so I felt like my senior year with the Institute was incredibly rewarding. I got to photograph the Clemson Men’s First Paralympic match game on Riggs Field, score Horse log books, and design signs and golf scorecards for RECESS. So dive in, and be ready for some great opportunities and new learnings.
