This was a 3 person co-op position through Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. At ZGF we worked on the studio project using ZGF's design process and tools Monday and Friday. Tuesday through Thursday we would be individual assigned to a ZFG team or project and assisted in anyway necessary. The team and projects assigned to us were by two coordinators, who made sure we gained experience work in each of ZFG's departments and stages of design. We were also each assigned a period of time during the co-op to work at ZFG's field office for the new Children's Hospital in LA.
