Palazzo Spinelli for Interior Design, Florence, B.A. in Interior Design
Track: Internships Tel Aviv
Internship: Danny Israelevits' office
I'm working in an architecture- interior design office and its owner is called Danny Israelevits. Its an office that mostly takes over villas and secondly public projects like schools, city counsils, cafes.They take over the whole project from the beginning, from its structure till the inside part and that's where interior design takes over.
For me, living in Tel Aviv has been a very nice experience, although I feel there are so many places to see and visit that I haven't been still and want to. The whole atmosphere reminds me very much of my country where they are a bit crazy, like the Israelis. The WUJS program is a very nice program for someone who wants to get to know Israel. It's a very good experience and I would recommend it specially to young people. It's a very good 'passport' for someone who wants to live in Israel after all.
What were you doing before you came here?
I was working in a furniture company.
How did you hear about this WUJS Israel program?
From a friend who is a masa program. Find out more at Masa Israel.
What responsibilities will you have during this internship?
To design the project that's gonna be given to me.
What are your goals for this internship program?
To learn more things about my occupation and the owner to appreciate my work.
Have you had any difficulty settling in?
No, except for the fact that I don't have my car and I don't know the language which has been a problem sometimes.
What did your friends say when you told them your plan to come to Israel?
They were so excited that they wanted to take them with me!
