All the good things come to an end.

Hej hello!

As the title suggest, my internship has come to an end.
It was such a great journey, from moving to another country to working in a small start-up team, meeting challenges and testing my own abilities.

I would like to use this last post to reflect on the outcomes of this internship.

Working as a fashion intern in the combyne company which developed and launched the fashion app as a creative tool was not only a lot of fun but also very challenging. The tasks I had were very diverse which gave me an insight into every segment of the company and the product and I enjoyed that to the maximum. Knowing the product gave me better working skills, less mistakes and very good time usage. I enjoyed working with import of the fashion items from different brands into the app, I especially enjoyed creating Style Lists for users and educating them and giving them inspiration on how to work with fashion. I met a big challenge working in the Influencer Marketing and realizing how hard it is to work with no budget, especially when your product is not something wearable or usable (expect virtually). I found marketing of such a product very challenging and two months were not enough to get completely into it and figure it out but they were quite enough to understand that fashion is not only a wearable item or a service. I expected from internship to be challenging and motivating and that is what I got. It was a great opportunity to be a part of a fast growing company and growing and learning with the team was great, I feel like I grew my fashion sense, get an insight in many different brands and styles, learnt how to communicate with influencers and also learnt how to present and market a fashion app.

All in all, this internship has provided me so much more knowledge, working skills and responsibility. I tested my own working habits, my own knowledge, interests and happily confirmed that I fashion is my world.

I experienced how it is to work in a start-up, how it is to work with little or no budget when creativity takes its place and I learnt how to work in a small team and with a virtual product which was amazing. If there would be another internship, I would love to challenge myself in a bigger, established company for a change...

...and until then...

Have a lovely day!
