Securing an internship at Jiva

TL;DR

Rahul transitioned from interior design to product design, honing his skills through ownpath's Product Design Fellowship. He has now landed an internship at Jiva.

Here’s his story:
I come from an interior design background and discovered product design during my third year. However, early on in college, I had a sincere realization that I did not want to continue in interior design. I took several online courses while waiting for college to end, eagerly anticipating the opportunity to pursue my newfound interest.

During this time, I learned about ownpath, and it seemed like the perfect avenue to explore my passion, aligning with what I was truly seeking at that moment. The diverse range of mentors at ownpath played a crucial role in shaping my work process and methods.

Recently, I secured an internship at Jiva, and I'm excited about the prospect of learning and making the most out of this opportunity. Reflecting on my journey as an early designer, industry projects have been instrumental in refining my processes and honing my ability to work in teams.

For instance, in an industry project with Postman, collaborating with fellow team members and learning from their perspectives significantly improved my approach. These instances of feedback, validation, and constant motivation are what make ownpath an exceptional program.

Early-career designers have the chance to collaborate in teams and work on exciting industry projects. The Fellowship program supports designers in refining their design processes through real-world projects. If you're a designer looking to transition into product design, ownpath is an excellent option for you!

If you’re a designer, you can join our Product Design Fellowship. The next cohort begins soon!
