Growing in style<\/h3>\n

\u201cMy journey at My Jewellery started with a six-month internship in the Branding team. After that, I worked in the Boutique in \u2019s-Hertogenbosch for over two years. I absolutely loved it, and at the same time it gave me the chance to really get to know My Jewellery inside and out. After graduating, I started working as a Graphic Designer Visual Merchandise. That\u2019s where I truly learned the visual identity of the brand. It became the perfect stepping stone towards the role I now enjoy so much: Design Specialist within the Buying team.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From idea to item<\/h3>\n

\u201cI design the artworks for our T-shirts and sweaters and translate inspiration into the My Jewellery style. I also check incoming prints for quality before they go into production. It\u2019s so rewarding to turn creativity into something tangible that someone will eventually wear. That\u2019s definitely a moment worth celebrating for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Doing what makes you happy<\/h3>\n

\u201cThe best thing about working in the Buying team is the creative energy. Everyone inspires each other and there\u2019s plenty of room to share your own ideas. The fact that my potential was seen and that I was able to grow internally feels like such a compliment. Every transition felt natural, mainly because I kept listening to what truly made me happy. I think it\u2019s important to follow your heart and regularly ask yourself what gives you energy. I\u2019m grateful that I\u2019ve been able to turn my passion for design into my job, and I\u2019m still learning something new every day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
