Our Mission

OUR PURPOSE

We exist to build happy and meaningful lives for the people that work here.

That may sound trite, perhaps even selfish, but it's the truth. Our purpose is closely tied to our mission, which comes to life when our team is enthusiastic, self-driven, and deeply motivated to be here.
Our Mission

Our mission wasn’t derived from MBA’s, leadership books, or a predetermined strategy.

It's the way that we've been doing things since the beginning of this company. So, we wrote it down:

Our History

We’ve been investor-free since the beginning.

In 2010, founder Peter Dering took a trip around the world and learned that carrying a big camera kind of sucked. He quit his job, designed a better way to carry a camera, and launched it on Kickstarter. It was a hit.

Ever since, we’ve used crowdfunding to bring products to life on our own terms—no investors, no interference. We make the products we want, and run the company we believe in.

Sound like a rad place to work?

We believe great work happens when people feel heard and free to be themselves. Different perspectives make our ideas sharper and our work more fun. Check out our open roles below—we read every application. Thanks for your interest in Peak Design.
