Bok Modern

Industrial Design Intern

June - August 2021 • San Rafael, CA

What I liked

I just want to start off that working here was awesome with a lot of great cooperative people on the team, a great environment, and I was able to learn a lot here, even on the last day. I used programs that I was familiar with and my knowledge increased immensely, not only was I able to create assemblies, drawings, but have the studio tell me that my work would be used for future references as well as seeing my work manufactured and installed.

What I wish was different

The people at BOK modern know the industry very well, however, the size of the business and new innovative ideas often took a priority over smaller questions. I learned some new ideas just on my own, but it was hard to get someone's feedback on my work.

Advice

Overall this is a great workplace, I learned as an intern and also as a designer taking different design directions from the owner. In the end, the quality of my work increase significantly, I was able to create manufacturable parts, create design guides for everyone, and I learned that most of the people at Bok are designers. Bok modern itself, has a nice workflow throughout the building. Everyone was really lively and willing to help me whenever they could.
