Juan Manuel Sandoval Camargo

Design & Social Media Intern

Working at AKIYA2.0 as a web design intern has been an incredibly enriching experience, allowing me to gain in-depth knowledge of a new work and business environment. Furthermore, the frequent feedback provided me with the skills to create a product that meets the needs of the company and its clients.

Silvana Casallas Avila

Design & Social Media Intern

Being part of Akiya2.0 was a life-changing experience. Real-world experience has let me grow exponentially as a graphic and web designer. I had the opportunity to work with programmers who improved my knowledge of UX and UI. The diversity of tasks also let me get acquainted with Japanese culture while developing technical skills. It turned out to be much more than a job; it was a step that actually mattered.

Mollie Rogers

Interning at AKIYA2.0, where I learned about entrepreneurship, business etiquette, marketing, and the Japanese real estate market, was a great opportunity to gain experience working in both a Japanese and international business environment, and proved fulfilling both professionally and personally. Collaborating with the AKIYA2.0 team and helping clients to find their dream homes was especially rewarding.
