We are looking for mission-driven, grounded folks to add to our equation. 

Let's Reimagine Waste Together

Graphic Design Intern

What if an internship wasn’t just “learning design”- but learning how to build a brand that stands for something?

At Without® (by Ashaya), we turn “unrecyclable” plastic into premium materials while uplifting informal workers into dignified, formal jobs. We’re looking for a Graphic Design Intern who’s curious, fast-learning, and proud of craft—someone who wants real responsibility, real feedback, and real impact.

Fair warning: this is not a 9-to-5. We’re a deep-tech startup in its most critical year. The pace is real, the stakes are high, and the work doesn’t always wait for Monday morning. If that excites you more than it scares you – keep reading.

Working at

Without® is not just another social enterprise or non-profit or start-up. We are an amalgamation of all that and a lot more.

Our why, our values, our guiding principles and our mission are absolute pillars in our journey to make deep, meaningful impact. We have just launched a new brand and our first product, and are trying to build on that.

Right now, we are a small but passionate team, so our work culture is evolving as we speak. We don’t believe in hierarchy and are attempting to build an environment of self-management.

We believe the following traits are currently fuelling our evolution:

pACE

We know we are moving quickly, but it still feels too slow. We want to move faster. We want to compress many years of research into one. But at the same time, we don’t want to break things along the way. Help us find our pace.

OUTCOME

We are outcome-focused. By that we mean it doesn’t really matter how many hours you work, it’s what you do with those hours that matters. Work hours are flexible. Our outcomes, not as much.

explicit

We are super transparent. There’s no point in sweeping conflicts under a rug. We don’t have much to hide from each other and are consistently evaluating our work, our feelings and our differences. We are our biggest critics.

grounded

No task is too small or too big for any of us to do. At the same time, we play to our strengths, optimising for the greater goal we are seeking to achieve, all the while keeping our minds open to diverse perspectives.
