Job Description

WHY THIS ROLE? WHY THIS COMPANY?

  • You bring products to life.
    • From fabric swatches to photoshoots, you’ll be part of every step of our product development.
  • You’ll learn fast.
    • We’re a fast-paced team building something from the ground up — there’s a lot to do and even more to learn.
  • You’ll have real impact.
    • We’re not just making clothes — we’re making them better for the planet, and you’ll play a part in that.
  • You’ll have fun.
    • We’re a collaborative, creative bunch. Expect good vibes, great ideas, and a lot of team lunches.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

As a Product Development & Design Intern, you’ll be involved in:

1) Customer Insights & Market Research

  • Help us understand what our customers really want through surveys, polls, and feedback.
  • Assist in compiling trend reports, moodboards, and competitor insights to guide design direction.
  • Keep your finger on the pulse of what’s trending — colours, cuts, fabrics, and silhouettes.

2) Design Support

  • Assist with design mock-ups, tech packs, and product specs.
  • Help put together presentation decks and B2B mock-ups when needed.
  • Experience in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop is a big plus — but curiosity and a willingness to learn is even bigger.

3) Sampling & Production Coordination

  • Track sample timelines and production progress with our factories and partners.
  • Keep our sample inventory organised (you’ll become best friends with our swatch library).
  • Help communicate changes and updates across our design and production timelines.

4) Photoshoot & Styling Support

  • Assist on shoot days: prepping looks, steaming garments, and keeping things on track.
  • Help develop styling guides and moodboards for campaign shoots and editorials.

WHO WILL YOU WORK WITH?

  • Report directly to our Design & Product team.
  • Work closely with the Co-Founders and other departments like Marketing, Ops, and Growth.
  • You’ll be part of a small but mighty team, and your input will be valued.

Job Requirements

REQUIREMENTS

  • A strong interest in fashion, product design, and sustainability.
  • Organised, detail-oriented, and not afraid of a good spreadsheet.
  • Familiarity with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Canva, Google Docs, and Google Sheets.
  • Bonus: Mandarin proficiency for supplier comms (but not essential).
  • Fresh grads are encouraged — this internship is built as a launchpad into a full-time role.
  • Able to commit for 3–6 months.
  • Responsible for your own transport (we’re based in Ampang, KL).
