Mignonne continues to extend our commitment to the East Bay Area by creating opportunities for young aspiring artists to demonstrate their creativity and gain experience in décor merchandising. We have a rotating internship program for design and art students in our local community.
We are delighted to introduce our newest intern for our fourth rotation of the program, Rebekah Carey McNall.
Rebekah is an Oregon native with Berkeley roots. She graduated from Oregon State University with a degree in theater.
Rebekah is already a familiar face at Mignonne, where she was a terrific part of our working team while Johnelle was in France. With Rebekah's new role as intern at Mignonne Décor, she will be designing the window displays and interior merchandising, as well as learning furniture restoration. She also enjoys creating hand-crafted greeting cards, repurposing furniture and general crafting.
Stay tuned to see photos of Rebekah's inspired window creations and store vignettes ... coming soon!

Spring Merchandising Interns!
Wednesday, April 8, 2009
Mignonne has extended our commitment to local artists to include creating opportunities for young aspiring artists to demonstrate their creativity and gain experience in décor merchandising. We have a rotating, 3-month internship program for design and art students in our local community.
For spring, we have two interns joining our team.
We'd like to introduce the first participant, Laura Evans. Laura is 26 years old and graduated from Oakland's Mills College with a BA in Music. A bay area native who lives in Oakland, she has a knack for design and wanted an experience to expand her portfolio. We are delighted to have her on board and she has already been an immense help to the shop.
Laura recently completed the latest display window design and interior merchandising displays, pictured here. The design incorporates colors and elements that are fresh trends in this year's spring décor.
If you know of a local artist or student in the area that would be interestested in our program, have them contact us at Mignonne (contact details in our blog header).
Check back soon to meet our second participant!
