In August 2016 I started my internship at the Danish jewellery company Hvisk.

During my internship I participated full time as part of the design team. The major elements of my

work tasks were to be researching jewellery trends and designs, jewellery ideation and design,

creating spec sheets of finished designs and drawing jewellery in 3D using the 2D spec sheets

created by myself or other members of the design team.

​

The purpose of this internship was to gain an insight and working knowledge of how it is to work

within the commercial jewellery field as a jewellery designer specialising in 3D; how this particular

company goes from idea to finished designs, how they manage prototyping, the procedures

involved in quality checking prototypes and inventory, how to work within a jewellery design team

and the expected skill levels required to fulfil the given tasks.

​

The knowledge I gained from this internship could only have been acquired by working in the field

for an established company and experiencing that you can never fully prepare yourself for every

task, but that you have to apply the skills and knowledge you already have to find a creative way

of solving each problem.

​

At the end of my internship I was offered a permanent position in Hvisk's design team and I was happy to stay on.
