When I first started looking for internships, never once did I think that I would end up working in the fashion industry. However, it has turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. Working for Madalyn Joy Designs has opened my eyes to so many exciting new things and I am so sad that it is all coming to an end. If it was possible for me to stay with this amazing company full time I would jump at the opportunity.

Hey everyone its Ayla, Madalynβs sewing intern for this past spring semester. I am wrapping up my time here as I wrap up my senior year at Mount Mary University. I joked that there was always lace or appliques to be trimmed, but even in those small things I found lots of joy and inspiration and could not have asked for a better experience interning for Madalyn Joy Designs. Thank you so much for the amazing opportunity!

Nicole, Moriah, and I have been working together for exactly 2 years this month so I wanted to put together a blog post to share our adventures together the past couple of years. I like working with Nicole and Moriah so much because it truly doesn't feel like work! We all trust each other and go into each shoot with a general idea and concept but always leave room to get creative during the shoots whether it be Nicole trying a new pose or Moriah trying a new lense.
