Product + Technical Design Intern
Posted on: 29 March 2022
Aday is a direct-to-consumer brand with the aim to lift the standard for clothing through clever design. Every ADAY garment is innovative in design and made with functional fabrics that last. Sustainability is prioritised through every step of the product life cycle. Consumers are encouraged to buy fewer high-quality pieces that can be worn on repeat. We’re a team of optimists (currently working remotely around the globe) and we’re dedicated to making positive changes in the world around us. We’re also pretty fun (if we do say so ourselves), and we strive to make each day interesting, challenging and rewarding.
We’ve raised over $10m in venture capital and were named one of the Most Innovative Companies in the World by Fast Company. You can read more about us in places like Fast Company, Vogue, Refinery29 + Conde Nast Traveler (and many more).
