Week 2 (first almost full week at Toms)

Hello Everyone!

I have survived my first almost full week at Toms! (We had MLK day off, but one of my managers believes that it counts as a full week). Yesterday, my mom asked me What did you do at work today? And literally, my mind went blank. Not because I didn't know what I did that day, but more along the lines of so many events and tasks are done in one day or in a span of multiple days, that it all gets jumbled together. 

What I know for certain that happened yesterday, was a footwear season launch meeting, where the Product Development department (that includes me!) puts together a meeting where we bring footwear prototypes, show inspiration boards, and powerpoint presentations on trends we feel will be big for that season. We invite other departments within Toms (Sales, International Sales, Creative, etc..) to come sit in on the meeting and enjoy a spread of coffee, baked goods, and veggie platter, while discussing ideas, opinions, and suggestions on the season's trends.

It was a great experience to not only sit in on the meeting and hear ideas from other departments, but it was also a great experience preparing for the meeting. 

Here are some photos from around Toms HQ. I can't share with you the specifics of the meeting, but I hope these photos will do. 

Thanks for reading!

First week at Toms

The adventure begins! My first week at Toms consisted of orientation and meeting people from different departments and hearing their Toms story. The people at Toms are inspiring and I can't wait to learn from them. We also had a "style your sole" party, which was a good chance to see the vast amount of creativity in my fellow interns. Also, a little fyi, Toms has a casual dress code, but two items that are frowned upon are: swimsuits and bobs shoes. Thank you for reading and being apart of this journey.
