Swedish LdM-Marist Graduate Works for Ferragamo
The day had finally come. It felt a bit unreal that I was actually going to work today, my first job after having graduated with a B.P.S. degree in Interior Design and Architecture from Marist-LDM. What is it going to be like? Am I prepared enough? Probably these are questions that everyone asks themselves when they are about to enter the work world. But actually I was mostly just curious about everything.
When I arrived at 9am, I first met with Elisa Crociani from the staff department, and then Alberico Saracino, one of the architects, showed me to my desk, helped me to start up my computer and explained what I could begin with. Everyone in the office was so kind and helpful. During the first day I studied a huge book full of technical AutoCAD drawings with all the furnishing that they use for different projects so I would get familiar with the design, materials and concept for all Ferragamo stores. I also looked at photos from their stores in different countries and compared the interior with the drawings that I had observed. Then, to better understand the common network on the computers I worked on locating different information from different folders. Next day on the way to work I was perhaps a little bit more relaxed and felt just curious to learn more about everything. I started to look around at the projects the others were working on, and they informed me how they are divided into different continents like: The U.S, Asia and Europe. Throughout the day people were calling from different parts of the world. In the morning, I prepared some lists in Excel of the furnishing that they use for outlet stores, which was good since I was able to learn the terms of the different furniture. Later in the afternoon I did some adjustments in AutoCAD of a plan-drawing of a store, and another project I got was to change the rendering of the lighting of a façade of one of the stores in China. The day after, I went on with the project of the façade with one rendering at daytime and another one at night, where the light and shadows appeared totally different, and after some Photoshop work the result became very nice. On Thursday, I finished the adjustments of the façade, and got another project to improve 6 renderings of an exhibition stand in France. The week passed by very fast, according to the expression, "time flies when you're having fun", and then it was already Friday and my fifth day at work. I finished the last rendering that evening before I left the office. I really enjoyed all these days, and on the way home I summarized the week and felt very satisfied and honored to have been given this possibility to work for such a great and world famous company as Salvatore Ferragamo. - Article written by Ann Djupa, Swedish BPS graduate at Marist/LdM | ||||
