Adventures In Interning Part I

Well, I have some exciting news to announce: I have been accepted for an internship with Diane Von Furstenberg in New York! Pretty much my entire life, I have wanted to live in New York, and now I'm getting the opportunity to do so for 3 months.

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity, and excited for a chance to work with such an amazing designer. I can't even begin to imagine how valuable the lessons I will learn here will be in my future career. In the meantime, I have a lot of paperwork to do. Applying for the correct visas, travel insurance, and on top of all this, a new passport. My passport expires within days of the internship end date, which is cutting it a little too close for my tastes.

I can't wait to learn from the talented people that create beautiful prints like this one.

So, despite all of the intensive paperwork I will be filing within the next few weeks, I will still find the time to blog more. Especially now that I will actually have something interesting to talk about!

VCAD Grad Show

It's a little late for this post, but the Vancouver College of Art and Design grad show was an amazing event that deserves a mention. Set against a beautiful Granville Island backdrop, the show is a great opportunity for graduating students to show off their hard work and connect with industry professionals from the Vancouver area. I showcased my final collection along with fellow fashion, marketing, graphic design, web design, and 3D animation students.

Putting together a great event like this isn't easy; thankfully we had a great team of event planners to help make things run smoothly.

The VCAD portfolio show happens once every 3 months, after each batch of students graduates. We've been lucky enough to have the Waterfall Building as the location for previous shows, you can see why! Such stunning architecture.

Follow VCAD on twitter for updates on the next show!
