Intern Life

I have just finished my first internship. Mejuri is an online jewelry store that connects jewelry designers to jewelry lovers. It is like no other jewelry company I had ever heard of. My role among other things involved connecting with designers who hopefully would one day design a piece of jewelry for Mejuri. Mejuri uses a crowdsourcing concept to decide the winning designs. Thanks to Katherine and I and the rest of our amazing team Mejuri received the most submissions per design challenge to date. I am happy to have had a hand in its success. Mejuri also has a blog I encourage you to follow.

The Earring Charms was the on going design challenge during out time at Mejuri. We saw it go from concept to completion. We went to sell our products in the CIBC offices in Toronto which were extremely well received.

I even did a little hand modelling thanks to our amazing photographer Amanda Source

I think internships are an interesting experience and I am glad I was able to work with a friend. I learned a lot and I am happy to have had the experience. I wish continued success to Mejuri and all of their designers.

In our final days, Katherine and I made a stop motion video to show off the beautiful earring charms!
