About You:
You’re inspired by the legacy of Corradino D'Ascanio, the brilliant mind behind the design of the iconic Vespa, as depicted in Enrico Piaggio: Un Sogno Italiano. Like D'Ascanio, you have the rare ability to take a visionary concept and meticulously craft it into a product that is both functional and timeless. You understand that great design is not just about aesthetics; it’s about solving real problems in innovative ways.
You’re deeply committed to understanding the needs and desires of the user, ensuring that every detail of your design serves a purpose. Whether it’s perfecting the smallest feature or rethinking the entire user experience, your ability to see both the big picture and the intricate details makes you a key player in turning ambitious visions into reality.
Your Role:
As a Product Designer, you’ll be at the forefront of transforming visionary ideas into products that people love and use every day. Your responsibilities will include:
- Vision to Product: Translating bold, creative ideas into tangible, user-friendly products that stand the test of time.
- User Understanding: Taking the time to deeply understand the needs and desires of the user, ensuring that every design decision enhances their experience.
- Collaboration: Working closely with engineers and other team members to ensure that the vision is faithfully translated into the final product

This role offers the opportunity to be part of a team that values creativity, craftsmanship, and user-centric design. If you’re inspired by the idea of turning dreams into products that people love, and you resonate with the meticulous and innovative spirit of Corradino D'Ascanio, this is the perfect role for you. Join us in creating products that are not just functional, but truly iconic.
Why Now is the Perfect Time
We’ve got 7 years of runway to crack NYC. After failing our first launch, we took all the learnings and poured them into our relaunch 4 months ago. That’s why it’s now starting to take off—we’ve figured out the formula. This opportunity is more than just a job—it’s a chance to be part of something transformative. If you’re looking for a role where you can make a tangible impact, work with passionate, like-minded individuals, and contribute to building something from the ground up, this is the perfect fit for you.
