Name: Carter Andrew Wright

Department:  Graphic Design

Hometown: NASHVEGAS!

University / Year / Major: Harding University Senior majoring in Graphic Design

Favorite place I’ve traveled: That is a very hard question. I have been blessed with many opportunities to travel. I was able to study abroad in Australia, New Zealand, and SE Asia last in 2010. I can’t pick, but my favorites for different reasons would be Queenstown, New Zealand (the most beautiful place on earth), Cambodia (the coolest people and cutest kids that have overcome so much suffering), and Tokyo (an amazing metropolis).

Hidden talent: Well, most find it surprising that I can dance. I have been known to even teach some how to dougie. But this talent does not come out very often. I have to be very comfortable with the people around me.

If you could have a pen pal, who would it be?  Tina Fey or Demetri Martin. Because who wouldn’t want hilarious hand written notes from wonderfully creative people?

Guilty pleasure: My iTunes is extremely eclectic, and some artists I do not show to everyone. ie: S Club 7, Beyonce, Jesse McCartney, and Kelly Clarkson. But just so you know I have good musical taste I also listen to Mumford and Sons, Eric Hutchinson, Adele, and Florence and the Machine.

Why are you excited about interning with Mocha Club / fashionABLE? I am extremely excited to be able to work for a company that shares the same goals I have for my life. I can’t wait to intern at a non-profit and gain experience and better understand how it all works together, since one day I want to work for or start my own non-profit.

Why are you excited about interning with Mocha Club / fashionABLE? I am absolutely FLOORED to intern with Mocha Club/fashionABLE because it not only utilizes incredible talent through local musicians (some of my absolute favorites) but MOST importantly, Mocha Club supports some of the biggest causes closest to my heart; sex trafficking, clean water and orphanages around the world. I am beyond excited to share and collaborate with the MC team and interns to see our vastly different gifts God has given us to serve and spread awareness and make a change in this broken world! Just so expectant for what this summer holds for all of us!
