Summer of 2016 is a summer\u00a0that I will always cherish, and that would mostly be because of Haven Interiors LTD<\/a>. Every day since\u00a0the end of May to early August, I made my 21-minute commute to one of the best places I could ever work at\u2013Haven Interiors in Milwaukee. At Haven, I worked alongside 11 extremely talented and helpful women. I was also lucky enough to work with\u00a0another college intern while at Haven.<\/p>\n

Every day was fun, no matter the amount of work that had to get done. The amount of passion and love the women at Haven have for their work inspired and assured me that I am\u00a0in the right career path. I\u00a0never felt out of place\u00a0while working there since everyone was always so helpful and welcoming. The Havenetts created a safe and welcoming atmosphere, which only made my goodbye that much harder.<\/p>\n

Every person at Haven taught me something that has helped me prosper as a student and designer. I was lucky enough to either work alongside or catch a glimpse of every designer’s work at one point or another. I had many different jobs, but my favorite would be when I was able to help find furniture and materials for the designers. They would give me details on their clients and back stories on the project they were working on, although it may seem like something simple, this meant more to me then\u00a0they would ever know. Every time a designer needed help finding something I got excited; the thought of my own decisions and ideas being used was unbelievable. There were\u00a0many\u00a0times throughout the summer that I was brought into a project\u00a0to provide more options for the clients. This is what made me feel like I was part of a team.<\/p>\n

I was lucky to work with\u00a0some of the most creative, brilliant and interesting women I have ever known. I am happy to say that I have created bonds with every one of them. I can confidently\u00a0say that I will be seeing them all again soon.<\/p>\n

So to all \u00a0the women at Haven Interiors LTD., I would like to say THANK YOU! Thank you for giving me \u00a0an interview after I was turned away from multiple companies for not having enough experience. Thank you for the warm welcome and helping me get the\u00a0hang of things. Thank you for having confidence in me, by allowing me to get an unimaginable amount\u00a0of hands on experience and helping me become more confident in my own ability. Thank you for\u00a0challenging me and intensifying\u00a0my passion for design. But lastly, thank you for giving me something so hard to say goodbye to.<\/p>\n

Until next time,
\nMonica<\/p>\n
