Product design intern (Bag designer)

As a Product Design Intern at Bayne in Kochi, India, you will have the opportunity to work on a new-age luggage brand that focuses on creating functional and well-thought-out bags for everyday use. The goal is to design bags that not only look good but also work better by solving real needs in smart and subtle ways. Designing with intention, every pocket, zip, and stitch serves a purpose, emphasizing materials, usability, and real-life experience. In this role, you will be an integral part of the New Product Development (NPD) team, contributing to the end-to-end product development process, from concept and sketching to CAD and prototyping. You will collaborate closely with the founder/designer, engaging in rapid prototyping, problem-solving, and bringing fresh ideas to the table. Your responsibilities will include creating quick paper models or rough prototypes, thinking with a manufacturing lens, assisting in building a product lineup and brand language, and potentially leading your own mini project. To excel in this position, you should have a background in product/industrial design, with a strong understanding of 3D thinking and design for manufacturability. A keen visual sense, clarity in design thinking, and proficiency in hands-on model making, especially in paper/cardboard prototyping, are essential. Your portfolio should showcase both conceptual ideas and their execution, with school projects also being considered. Joining the team at Bayne offers you the opportunity to work on real products for a new consumer brand, learning closely from an experienced designer and gaining full exposure to the design process. There is also a possibility of transitioning into a full-time role based on mutual fit and performance. If you are passionate about product design, hands-on problem-solving, and bringing innovative ideas to life, this internship provides a unique chance to contribute to the creation of impactful and purposeful bags.
