Details

Our goal is to work with a design student to design and test a weekend bag for a new launch we are planning. The project should result with a model that is ready to be sent to our supplier and have been vetted and approved by our team.

Deliverables
  • clear design process: through testing and consulting with our leadership team, as well as sampling
  • project management: work with our CEO to plan and execute the project to completion
Mentorship

Students will work closely with the primary project manager, Rachel Derkach, who is supervising and available for questions. This will also include 5 hours of focused mentoring on their area of choice.

We will plan to communicate with our virtual intern(s) using these communication tools: Company Slack channel, Zoom, in person if applicable
