The Tidbits; (Photos above explained)

I make desktop wallpapers for Jennifer’s lovely fans – you can find them on her website under the “fun freebies” section. (It is currently down but you can check out the other wallpapers by reading my Internship Diary Vol. 1 & Vol. 2!!

The Scoop/FAQ‘s;

Q: How was your NYC trip?
A: It was AMAZING!! My dad and I drove there from Windsor, ON – it was about 10+ hours – can you tell we like roadtrips? We went for 8 days, which was definitely not enough! By the eighth day I was exhausted, but I’m saving up and planning another trip. (maybe my first runway show?? DREAM BIG)

Q: Have you met Jennifer Lilya in person?
A: Yes!!! On my April ’12 trip to NYC – it was surreal, she’s so helpful, genuine, and down to earth!

Q: If you don’t get paid for your internship, how are you rewarded?
A: By the sheer amount of experience I gain, inspiration,  references, art supplies,  goodies, lessons, a mentor, etc. And to me, all that is so much greater than money! I’m very grateful.

What I’ve learned the past few months;

• Always be helpful, humble and friendly!
• Never assume things, communication is key. (I still need to learn this!)
• When you find something you’re passionate about, never give up on it.
• Never, ever give up on your dreams! (never!!)
• How satisfying and fun interning is!
• Interning opens up many opportunities
• How great of a mentor and support system Jennifer is (!!!)
• An artists space must always be clean in order to feel inspired. (in my case at least!)
• I need a air-conditioned studio space for the summer, eek!
