Marjolein Sommerdijk
Product Design Specialist
How long have you been working at My Jewellery?
I’ve been working at My Jewellery since November 2013.
What do you do at My Jewellery?
Designing jewellery (collections) along with the associated branding and packaging. I also keep an eye on trends, adapt them to My Jewellery, and create clothing and jewellery mood boards.
What makes your job so fun?
Because I can be creative and work on the most beautiful collections together with my colleagues. We always have a little celebration whenever we’ve put together another lovely collection.
What steps have you taken since you started working here?
In 2013, I got in touch with Sharon, the owner of My Jewellery. I then worked from her home as a Graphic Designer one day a week for a year. After that, My Jewellery really started to grow and I joined the company full-time. At first, I helped with packing parcels, adding products to the website and answering emails. It was great fun to have experienced all these areas! As more people joined the company, I was able to focus fully on the graphic design side again! And so, over the years, I progressed to become a Product Designer.
