About the Role

We’re looking for a Creative Intern who’s passionate about design, curious about the world of branding, and hungry to learn. This role is ideal for college students seeking internship credit who want hands-on experience in the creative industry, guided by real-world briefs, feedback, and mentorship.

As our Creative Intern, you’ll wear a lot of hats: part graphic designer, part junior art director, and part creative entrepreneur-in-training. You’ll be assisting on live client projects, learning how to build and revise creative work, and gaining direct access to the founder’s industry connections, feedback, and mentorship.

Responsibilities

• Source and compile trending vector artwork for use in branded assets
• Complete design revisions based on client feedback
• Develop mockups for websites, social media, and branded content
• Support client outreach and communication when needed
• Assist in executing creative briefs from start to finish with oversight
• Stay on top of visual trends and contribute to brainstorms and pitch decks

What You’ll Gain

• College credit (if applicable through your university)
• 1:1 mentorship from a creative with a decade of industry experience
• Access to exclusive agency tours and creative networking opportunities
• Hands-on experience with real clients and design challenges
• Portfolio-worthy work and a stronger grasp of the creative process
• A deeper understanding of branding, art direction, and entrepreneurship
• Flexible hours and the chance to help shape a growing creative business

Ideal Candidate

• A student currently pursuing a degree in Graphic Design, Art Direction, Advertising, or a related creative field
• Proficient in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop
• Has a strong eye for design and understanding of basic design principles
• Entrepreneurial-minded, independent, and open to feedback
• Can follow creative direction and work without constant supervision
• Reliable, humble, and excited to grow with a small but mighty team
