Skip the coffee runs…

Calling early-career Product Designers who are ready to move beyond theory, templates, and “safe” problems. This isn’t just a junior role — it’s a launchpad into real product work across real industries.

Okay… We Know What You’re Thinking: So What?

You might be a fresh graduate breaking into product design. Or a junior designer from an agency, startup, or in-house team looking for deeper exposure and faster growth. Either way, you’re hungry to understand how products actually get built — from identifying user problems to shaping concepts that become real businesses.

With our 1-year Product Design Apprenticeship, you’ll get hands-on experience designing products from zero to one. You’ll work alongside experienced designers and venture teams, learning how user research, design thinking, and UX/UI come together in early-stage environments.

This role is designed for designers who are curious, adaptable, and excited to explore different industries before locking into a single path.

Alright, Alright, Let’s Get to the Good Stuff – Here’s What’s in It for You

This isn’t a passive learning program. It’s a high-exposure, high-support environment where you’ll grow quickly by doing meaningful work.

Why this role works for early-career designers:

You get in-house experience without being tied to one product
You work across multiple industries and problem spaces
You learn directly from senior designers, founders, and operators
You build a strong foundation in human-centred design and product thinking

What is Liminal

Liminal is a Founders' Studio headquartered in Singapore and Boston.

We co-build with topflight founders by providing build expertise, unfair access and funding to de-risk their journey from idea to Series B and beyond

What is the Role?

We’re looking for a Product Design Apprentice to support our designer team throughout the zero-to-one venture building process.

You’ll be exposed to user research, design thinking, and UX/UI design, gradually taking on more ownership as your skills and confidence grow. Whether you’re a fresh graduate or an experienced junior, the role adapts to your starting point — but the expectations to learn fast stay high.

Responsibilities

In this role, you will:

Support and conduct user research (interviews, usability testing, desk research, surveys)
Synthesize research into clear insights and opportunity areas
Create design artefacts such as personas, journey maps, wireframes, prototypes, and MVP flows
Support UX/UI design for early product concepts and MVPs
Participate in design thinking workshops and collaborative sessions
Work closely with Product, Engineering, and Business teams
Learn how design decisions impact desirability, product-market fit, and business strategy

Attributes

This role could be a great fit if you:

Have 0–3 years of experience in product design, UX/UI, research, or a related field

Are a fresh graduate with strong fundamentals or a junior designer looking to level up
Understand the basics of human-centred design and UX principles
Are comfortable using Figma (or similar tools) to communicate ideas
Are curious, proactive, and comfortable with ambiguity
Communicate clearly and enjoy collaborating with others

Backgrounds we welcome: agency, in-house, startups, consultancies, or academic programs.

This is a rare opportunity to build range before specialising — to try different industries, products, and problem spaces while learning from a strong venture and design team.

If you’re early in your design career and want real exposure, real mentorship, and the space to discover your “vibe” — this role was built for you.
