Working within a small team and reporting directly to the head designers, you would primarily be working in the Adobe suite mocking up layouts, sketching concepts and designing marketing material for several different projects.

You will have the chance to work on live briefs for a multitude of different companies, getting key insights into client relationships and business.

This is a fantastic opportunity for anybody who is thinking of running their own business in the future as you will be able to see first-hand the way a small design consultancy runs.
We are always looking to add awesome people to our team, if the internship is very successful we may look to extend it through the summer.
