Working With the Dogs

         This week I had my first day interning at the showroom for local clothing company Duke and Winston. The clothing is a preppy outlook on casual wear. Duke and Winston's showroom has walls covered in British inspired artwork and novelties that remind customers of the designer Sean's inspirations. I started off the day redesigning the stores front window. Window displays always interest me as they are a place I really can turn on my creativity to it's full extent. I had fun with the display, putting a bowler hat on a stuffed bulldog (reminiscent of the brand's logo, the bulldog named Duke), and hanging new shirts on clothing lines. I also did a lot of tagging of the new inventory that will be released for the holiday season. There is a lot of freedom with this internship, if I would like to do something the likelihood is that I will be actually able to. For instance, I am researching and coming up with ideas to improve their social media outlets and make them more effective at bringing in customers to purchase the clothing and accessories. This is my first time interning for a company and so far it is going well, especially since everyone who works here is so nice and welcoming!
          The other part of this internship that is so exciting is the two dogs that are there. Both where are adopted by Sean and are so sweet. Being away from my puppy at home has been hard so now at least I can play with two cute dogs at work! Having dogs in the office definitely adds a nice feel to the environment which is much appreciated.
