Are you a creative and edgy Design student with a passion for fashion?
Join our innovative team for a unique opportunity to flex your design skills in a product development capacity. The Product Design Intern will be exposed to eyewear trend research and best practices for identifying best-selling styles. A creative student who has an interest in making their love for design come to life in a marketable manner will be a great fit for this unique, hands-on role. Guided by our Brand Managers, the intern will assist with conceptualizing the prototype of fashionable eyeglass and sunglass frames, including color and material selection for each design. This internship is seeking a student who would be energized by seeing their artistry come to life as a consumer good and is passionate about fashion trends. The right candidate will have technical experience working with the Adobe creative suite, including Photoshop and Illustrator. Use of MS PowerPoint and CAD programs is a plus.
