Please put your hands together for our design intern Cristina Del Rosario – it is with great pleasure that we announce that Cristina’s recent project, the One Motion Syringe, successfully beat out a multitude of other exciting concepts in Georgia Tech’s institute-wide Ideas 2 Serve competition.

From the Georgia Tech press release: “the I2S competition seeks to find “early-stage products or venture concepts that [are] focused on creating a better world,” according to the Institute for Leadership and Entrepreneurship (ILE), which produces the competition. Although housed in the College of Management, the competition is open to all Tech undergraduate and graduate students and recent alumni…

“This competition fills a niche that’s very valuable, not only to the College of Management, but also to Georgia Tech as a whole,” says ILE Research Scientist Dóri Pap. “It really showcases the Institute’s best examples of social entrepreneurship.”

Needless to say, we’re quite proud of Cristina and eager to point out that she was victorious not just once, but twice over: her concept was selected as both a Social Solution Award Winner and a People’s Choice Award Winner.

2010 Summer Internship

Internship!

People of Resource benefits highly from the help, enthusiasm, and ebullience that interns bring to the studio. We are a multidisciplinary studio with a hands-on relationship to materials and output.

We love to keep an energetic, rigorous, critical, yet fun working environment. A weird sense of style, a winning personality, and a love of working with your hands are what will make you an instant fit around here.

The Details

Our next internship period begins in May 2010. We ask for a commitment of 3 months per season.

We recommend that you contact us at least 2 to 3 months before you would like to intern.

Applicants of various backgrounds are encouraged to apply, but preferably with an emphasis on industrial design, graphic design, furniture, multimedia, or architecture. It is imperative to have, at least, basic computer knowledge with design software such as the Adobe Creative Suite, as well as an interest in hands-on production.

To help us make a better decision, don’t hesitate to send those glossy portfolio images, but also be sure to let us know what you are really into and what you would like to accomplish during your internship.
