Description
Our studio is a fast-paced, skunkworks-style design team responsible for the end-to-end experience, including digital and physical design of new businesses, new products, and new services.
We move quickly, experiment often, and thrive on turning ambiguous problems into tangible solutions.
This is an incredible opportunity for an early-career designer to build a broad, multidisciplinary skill set across physical and digital design disciplines in a high-energy, small-team environment where every contributor wears multiple hats.
You will gain hands-on exposure to concepting and sketching, low- to high-fidelity prototyping, workshop facilitation, and asset production across the full lifecycle of projects, pilots, and research initiatives , all while being mentored by senior designers and cross-functional experts.
Responsibilities
- Contributing to Design Innovation: Support the design of novel and unique experience solutions to meaningful customer problems, helping identify design opportunities and actionable concepts that align with user needs, business goals, design principles, and technical capabilities.
- Building Prototyping & Visualization Skills: Develop your craft in rough prototyping ("build to learn") and design visualization, with growing emphasis on physical enablers.
- Supporting Insight-Driven Design: Assist in translating customer and user insights into desirable, feasible product concepts , a core skill you'll continue to sharpen as you grow in the role.
- Engaging Across the Full Design Process: Actively participate in every stage of the design process, from inspiration and research to prototyping and vision communication, gaining exposure to integrated digital-physical experience design across brand, products, and services.
- Developing Systems Thinking: Begin applying systems thinking to physical experience design, learning how touchpoints connect across a service journey for consumer and business applications.
- Practicing Multidisciplinary Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teammates , including engineering, planning, and research , to build strong working relationships and develop the versatility needed to move fluidly between disciplines in a small, agile studio.
- Learning Experience Content Strategy: Support the design and iteration of experience concepts, helping confirm feasibility within program constraints while learning how strategy translates into execution.
