    London, United KingdomInternship
    As design intern, I worked closely with Clio on a daily basis. I was hand sewing elements to garments that had come back from manufactures, re labeling items, packaging and posting orders. I was checking and cutting patterns, pattern matching prints and working with a wide variety of materials such as power net stretch and faux furs. While with Clio I worked on accessories collaboration with a makeup brand and produced a small selection of faux fur handbags. I hand delivered items around London to clients, as well as fabric and trim sourcing.
