Interning

 Over this summer I interned at Mirjam Rouden Textile design studio. Located in East London, Bethnall Green. Mirjam Rouden is a textile designer specialising in Print design and she is well known for her digital and colour discharge prints. Mirjam Rouden’s prints have been known to sell at Inigo which is partnered with Premiere vision. Mirjam Rouden’s prints are internationally sold to countries such as Italy, Paris and the US which gives Mirjam and her team the privilege to travel around the world. Her print designs have been known to feature in companies such as Diane Von Furstenberg, Banana Republic & Maladrino. 

In my first week of interning I was expected to provide my portfolio so Cindy one of Mirjam’s head designers could identify my strengths in designing, drawing and digital skills.  So this week I was directed to focus on drawing florals with black ink and black pencil and go on errands on the tube to get designs printed onto tracing paper made for screen printing. I enjoyed this process of work as I was able to work on my drawing skill and take time on drawings to create perfect floral shapes. I was also told by Cindy to work on small drawings of flowers onto tracing paper, she wanted me to work on tracing paper so it is easier for the team to make printing screens with the tracing paper. I found the work enjoyable as I feel I my strengths lie within drawings and designing.
