Today is my last day at Timbuk2. I never thought I’d be this sad to leave a job. I had one of the most rewarding summers of my life. Interning here taught me so much about how to network, strategize and organize my ideas. At Timbuk2 I was given clear direction from the people around me, while being allowed the freedom to explore and learn on my own. I believe there are major advantages for interning with a smaller business. At Timbuk2, I was able to see how each department functions and contributes to the company as a whole.
I wasn’t your typical intern, picking up the boss’ mail and dishing out coffee. I started my summer here working with the sales team. I tracked online prices and learned about customer behavior. By the end of the summer I was making videos and drawing T-shirt designs. I will walk away from this summer with a great appreciation from my experience here and a few sweet bags!

AWWWW I’m gonna miss your posts!
I’ve really enjoyed reading about your experience. Sounds like it’s a great company to work for. I LOVE their products.
Why did they stop making the Hidden Backpack? Gave one to my sister and she used it while traveling in Europe. I wanted to get one for myself, but couldn’t find in at the store or on-line.??!
I hope you will have the opportunity to work for TImbuk2 in the future and I look forward to reading more of your Blogs.
Great job with the blog man! I was really diggin your art! They should mass produce some of those designs!
We will miss you and all of that jazz, good luck on whatever you are going to do.
Now… I’m going to be the somewhat insensitive one and ask what is that bag near your hip, the white and black tote? Is it new? old? Is it going to be available soon?… I like it, Where/When can I get it?
Amanda,
I think the bag you’re referring to is a tote coming out next season. I’m not 100% sure though. thanks for the comment
