Someone has to make all the cool gear we ride with, so why can’t it be you? You can feed the passion for your sport, get creative with design, and contribute to snowboarding, be it in board design, fashion, safety, boots or those funny beanies that you see on the hill.
Oh, and there is no one better to test the products then the designer, and so part of your job should entail hitting the slopes regularly, all on the company’s payroll.
A background in design, or degree is best, and an internship is, again, the best way to get your foot in the design door.
