With minimalism at its core, MERIT remains intentional in the products it creates, spending years perfecting every detail to ensure it's not just another product, but one that you can live with for years to come.

  • Ability to meet deadlines and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Self-motivated and able to work with minimal supervision
