Company Profile

SWNA is an industrial design studio that takes a people-centered approach to integrating products, spaces, visuals, and branding. The studio observes how people interact with objects in everyday life and focuses on identifying essential values to reflect in its design work.

Since its founding in 2011, the studio has worked across a wide range of projects—from Starbucks’ reusable cup to design strategy collaborations with Google, Dell, and BMW, the LVMH Bvlgari Clock Tower, and the medals for the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics—building its own trajectory across both everyday objects and global initiatives.

Job Description

The role involves participating in a wide range of client projects, working from design strategy to product categories such as electronics, home appliances, furniture, and sometimes spatial design. The work process includes user and market research, idea sketching, 3D modeling in Rhino, rendering in KeyShot, prototyping, and supporting the production stage through to final manufacturing.

Korean language skills are not required, as internal communication can be supported with translation tools such as ChatGPT or Papago. However, a functional level of English communication is necessary for daily work and collaboration.

Required Skills

The role requires proficiency in Rhino 3D and KeyShot, as well as the ability to create soft prototypes and convey a wide range of ideas through sketching.
