1. Intern Spotlight: Josh Lewis

   by M.E.G. on October 20, 2011

   There are a few things the POPVOX team doesn’t like: civic laziness, widget glitches, rainy D.C. days, and of course, saying goodbye. It is with fond wishes that we say goodbye to one of our excellent summer interns, Josh Lewis (or as we know him, JLew, to avoid confusion with our CTO, Josh Tauberer). 

   While he started off the internship debugging Internet Explorer problems, Josh ultimately transitioned into full front-end implementation and design. He helped the POPVOX team create the Write Congress widget, the bill text widget, and came up with the POPVOX envelope and stamp graphic that you see when you check your address on your message to Congress.

   “I love the pride and ambition the POPVOX crew puts into their work and brand. Everyone at POPVOX is amazing and talented. They’re definitely some of the coolest people I've ever worked with.”  

   The feeling is definitely mutual.

   Josh is taking his good attitude and polished design skills on the road -- quite literally. He just recently participated in the the StartupBus Intel event, where teams of strangers load onto a touring bus and have 48 hours to design, build and launch a startup. Josh’s team won 2nd place. “I really love the startup culture,” said Josh, “I want to be more involved in it later on in my future.” In the meantime, Josh plans to continue working with design and user experiences at a marketing agency. 

   Don’t let his age fool you; Josh has his own youthful wisdom to impart. “I believe in doing what you love,” he said, “and I certainly love beautiful, pixel-perfect design which brings meaningful experiences to users.”

   The POPVOX team wishes Josh the best in his future internships, education, jobs, and wherever else his adventures take him.
