Description
About the Role: Are you a curious, systems-minded designer who believes that design is as much about asking the right questions as it is about making things beautiful? Do you see the world of food—not just as consumption, but as culture, experience, sustainability, and community? We're looking for Design Generalists who can move fluidly between conceptual thinking and practical application . Whether it's researching global hospitality trends, mapping restaurant experience journeys, prototyping service blueprints, or storytelling through visual narratives—your contribution will help reimagine how people experience food and hospitality in a changing world. Who You Are: A final-year design student or recent graduate in disciplines such as Communication Design, Experience Design, Industrial Design, Service Design, or Interdisciplinary Design. Deeply passionate about food systems, restaurants, hospitality , and the design opportunities within them. Comfortable wearing multiple hats—researcher, strategist, storyteller, maker. A critical thinker who embraces ambiguity, sees patterns in chaos, and thrives in iterative workflows. What You'll Do: Conduct research into food culture, service ecosystems, design trends, and user behaviors. Contribute to concept development , from speculative futures to grounded, service-ready frameworks. Collaborate with content, editorial, and strategy teams to craft design-driven narratives. Create wireframes, moodboards, visuals, service maps, or whatever format best communicates the idea. Help build frameworks, models, and design systems that can evolve with changing needs. Participate in weekly crits, idea jams, and design rituals with a passionate, interdisciplinary team. Why This Matters: Design plays a crucial role in shaping how we eat, interact, gather, and experience hospitality —from the layout of a tasting menu to the flow of a ghost kitchen. It’s embedded in every touchpoint: space, service, sustainability, emotion. This is your chance to work at the intersection of systems, storytelling, and sensory experience —where food becomes a canvas for design-led thinking. What You’ll Gain: Experience working on live and speculative projects at the edge of food, culture, and design. Exposure to the inner workings of creative studios and food-based ventures. Portfolio-worthy work and potential for long-term collaboration. Recognition through published work, case studies, and concept features. To Apply: Send us your resume, portfolio (or a curated selection of work), and a note on what draws you to the intersection of design + food + hospitality at connect@paxika.com . Show us your range, your curiosity, and the questions you’re asking. We value diversity of thought, background, and lived experience. This role is open to all design thinkers who are ready to reimagine what’s possible. Show more Show less
