• Communicate with vendors for printing, prototyping, or fabrication needs
• Track and follow up on design-related orders and deliveries

5. Design Support

• Support photography or documentation of design outputs
• Learn and assist in digital tools like Rhino or Fusion 360 (depending on project type)

Who You Are

• Passionate about design, storytelling, and making ideas tangible
• Curious, organised, and proactive in solving small problems before they grow
• Strong communication skills - oral and written
