It’s been a busy month for us, so we at People of Resource elected to leverage our 8×8 exhibitors booth toward a bit more progress on our many projects.

Depicted above is our attempt at a vertical studio. “Getting things done is the new black.”

We were impressed by the students’ enthusiasm, ideas, and skills. On top of that, they are stellar people conducting their studies in some incredible facilities.

The first part of the workshop was conducted over three days on campus in Savannah, culminating in a design competition with the prize being admission to the second workshop. That heralded second workshop took place in our own studio in Atlanta.

We have to confess – we had a blast and the workshop was revelatory in terms of providing opportunities for us to reexamine our own processes and assumptions. We’ve gotten a lot of traction out of the conversations that have emerged before, during, and after.

We’re busy combing through the mountain of documentation we created, but as soon as we have a handle on it, we’ll be posting a more comprehensive study of this endeavor.

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.
