You will contribute across the full design lifecyclefrom early research and ideation to detailed drawings, prototyping, and final productionwhile developing a strong personal point of view within the studios design language.

• Support installations, exhibitions, and studio projects as required
• Contribute to ongoing design research and studio conversations

Who You Are

A curious cat (yes, we love cats) whos hands-on, self-starting, idea-loving, typo-fixing, prototype-chasing, and definitely not afraid of a little chaos. You're as comfortable in a 5 star as a dhaba.

• Respect for materials, labour, and time
• Ability and openness to multi-task
