• Marketing 
• Finance 
• Organizational Behavior 
• Brand
• Product Development

- The ability to work in multidisciplinary design teams
- Outstanding verbal and written communication skills

• Internship lasts 2-3 months

You will favorably impress us by attaching either: A description of a project where you used the human-centered design process to bring something new to the world OR your response to this exercise: find an environment where you can watch people going through daily life (such as a park, a restaurant, a transit station or vehicle etc.) Spend time observing activities and interactions, documenting what you notice (in photos or diagrams for instance) and share with us your thoughts about how people's experiences there could be enhanced, and what resulting opportunities there might be for a viable market offering.
