The Longhorn Design Lab is an industrial design organization focused on the intersection of design and engineering. We strive to create products that truly focus on meeting their users' needs. If you're interested in creating truly human-centered solutions, consider joining LDL!
The core of LDL is teaching and allowing members to perform the product design process from start to finish. Over the course of the school year, members will conduct market research, ideate solutions to their proposed problem, and iterate prototypes until they reach a final product.
Studio is the visual side of LDL: branding, renderings, social content, decks, merch, event visuals, all of it. Basically, if it needs to look good and stay consistent with our brand, it goes through us. We're looking for people interested in 2D design (graphics, layout, UI/UX), 3D/rendering, or a bit of both if you can jump in wherever it's needed. Tools we use (you don't need to know all of them): Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Figma, Blender, Fusion 360, Rhino, SolidWorks, KeyShot, Canva. More than software, we care about how you work. Takes feedback well, shows up, communicates, hits deadlines, notices the small stuff, doesn't need to be micromanaged.
Operations at LDL keeps the organization running smoothly by handling the legal, financial, and logistical backbone. On the legal and governance side, we maintain LDL's nonprofit status and stay on top of tax filings and record-keeping so the organization remains compliant and protected. We also plan fun and engaging fundraisers while building partnerships with local businesses and reaching out to sponsors to secure funding and support for our events. Finally, we work to streamline procurement, finding smarter and more efficient ways to source the materials LDL needs so the rest of the team can focus on doing great work.
