Creativity often starts with curiosity, and for Senam Dzomeku ’26, that curiosity led to a two-month internship at The Content Studios in Accra, fueled by his interest in photography and content creation. 

As a production intern, his goal was to understand how he can turn his creative skills into a business. He wanted to learn how his creative skills could be structured, monetized, and scaled into a business. “The internship confirmed a lot. It showed me that you can monetize and structure what I thought to be just creative stuff, just by observing how things were done at the Studio,” he shared. 

The internship took on new meaning when he was tasked with editing an audio podcast session recorded by another colleague. Having never used Adobe Audition software before, this task taught him a great deal while building his confidence. “I could not believe I was asked to edit that podcast, being an intern,” he recalls. “I had to go on YouTube and figure out a lot of things, and that was a great learning curve for me. Eventually, things worked out; They liked it.”  

Alongside gaining technical skills such as pre-production planning and video editing using advanced software like DaVinci Resolve, he also learned lessons on interpersonal relationships. Initially, Dzormeku was not keen on having many interactions with his colleagues and the people he met in his line of duty, but he later realized how important building relationships was to his overall experience. “I was always to myself at first, but later I realized I was missing out. However, by the end of the period, I had learnt how to start conversations with even strangers,” he recounted. “And if I had the chance to do it again, I’d go in with much more boldness.” 

Now, Dzomeku sees himself pursuing entrepreneurship anchored in the creative space in the future. While he remains open to exploring other business opportunities, this internship gave him the conviction that a future in the creative industry is worth chasing.
