Claire’s first day!
Today I worked primarily in the warehouse, packaging, shipping, cuting, and folding fabrics. I was glad to learn the nuts and bolts of the business, before I enter into marketing tomorrow. Spoonflower is such a fast growing, forward thinking, progressive company. It reminds me of the buzzfeed office, plus the snacks are A+. I appreciate the time Dr. McElereath took to find such a good fantastic fit for me.
Claire @ Spoonflower
For just shy of two weeks, I will be interning at Spoonflower. Spoonflower is a durham based company that creates customized wallpaper, fabric and giftwrap. I will be working in the marketing department, specifically with social media marketing for the 18-24 demographic. I am looking forward to this amazing oppertunity, and cannot be more greatful to Dr. McElreath who generously set this up for me.
