🏢 About Us
We’re a new-age luggage brand focused on building functional, well-thought-out bags for everyday use—think backpacks, slings, tech organizers, and travel gear. Our goal is simple: to create bags that not only look good but work better.
We design with intention. Every pocket, zip, and stitch has a purpose. We're not chasing trends—we're building products that solve real needs in smart, subtle ways. Design is at the heart of what we do, and we care deeply about materials, usability, and how the product feels in real life.
Right now, we're in the exciting phase of building our first product line. If you’re someone who loves hands-on problem solving, rapid prototyping, and bringing fresh ideas to the table, you’ll feel right at home here.
We're looking for a passionate and hands-on Product Design Intern to join our New Product Development (NPD) team. You'll work directly on a new brand we're building from the ground up—right from sketch to shelf.
🚀 What You’ll Do
Support end-to-end product development: concept, sketching, CAD, and prototyping
Make quick paper models or rough prototypes to validate ideas
Think with a manufacturing lens (materials, processes, assembly)
Assist in building a product lineup and brand language
Contribute to the design process with your own mini project if it fits
Work closely with the founder/designer and collaborate across functions
🛠️ What We’re Looking For
A background in product/industrial design (students or recent grads welcome)
Understanding of 3D thinking and design for manufacturability
Strong visual sense + clarity in design thinking
Comfortable with hands-on model making (paper/cardboard prototyping)
A portfolio that shows both concepts and execution (school projects count!)
🎁 What You’ll Get
A chance to work on real products for a new consumer brand
Learn closely from an experienced designer with full exposure to the process
Possibility to convert into a full-time role if there’s a mutual fit
