Amber Priscilla Hoogendoorn
Intern in 2021
ROC van Amsterdam, Fashsion design
Nikkie made me think in several ways about what kind of designer I want to be and what I must do to get to that point. This is what I mainly focused on during my internship. I did research and got several assignments to find this out. She showed me the artistic sides of fashion. And how I can apply this in my projects. I also got introduced to weaving, which was a new experience. It was definitely one of the highlights of my internship. Nikkie inspired me a lot. (Still does) Especially by the stories about her experience in fashion. And the way she is so passionate about the things she does. It triggers me to learn more and more about this world we call fashion. Because it’s much more than just “fashion”. I’m grateful for this internship. I learned a lot and I’m ready for all the challenges that come my way in the future.
