Onyx Valley Studios
Onyx Valley Studios is a student-led design agency created to help students get experience working with real clients on real projects from start to finish.
Like an internship or apprenticeship, Onyx Valley Studios is intended to help students transition from observing and learning in an educational setting to applying and practicing skills in a professional environment. Projects are either client driven or start-up initiatives generated by Onyx Valley. We generally work on projects that are aligned with Onyx Valley’s mission and values surrounding diversity, equality, and justice.
