Prepare assets for internal and client presentations

Collaborate with account, project management, and production teams

What Makes This Different

You’ll work on real work , not mock assignments

You’ll help shape a pilot internship program

You’ll get exposure to the full creative process

Top performers will be considered first for full-time roles

What You’ll Gain

Hands‑on experience from concept through production

Exposure to real client work across channels

A final presentation + portfolio‑ready work

Resume and portfolio development support at the end of the program

What We’re Looking For

Students or recent grads in Graphic Design, Visual Arts, or related field

A portfolio that demonstrates creative thinking (student work welcome)

Working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite

Strong attention to detail and design fundamentals

Willingness to learn quickly and apply feedbackStrong communication and collaboration skills

Bonus: motion design, animation, video editing, 3D, or photography skills.

How You’ll Stand Out
We’re looking for people who:

Take initiative and follow through

Push the work to be better

Ask smart questions and apply feedback

Show up as team players and collaborators

If you’re looking for an internship where you actually build your portfolio, sharpen your craft, and make an impact—this is it.
