The internship program

Is this you?

This isn't a coffee-and-photocopy internship. You'll sit in on how a brand gets clear, who it's for, why people should choose it, and how that shows up on a sign, a box and a feed.

If you're…

  • hungry to learn real-world branding
  • the type who asks "why?" before "what colour?"
  • happy to hear honest feedback, and use it on the next round
  • curious about business, not just design
  • someone who notices brands on the street and has opinions about them

…then we'd like to meet you.

Probably not for you if…

  • you only want to make things look nice, and don't care why
  • you need every task explained step by step, every time

What you'll learn by doing

You'll work on the same kind of work our clients pay for. Exact tasks depend on your track and what's on the board.

  1. Brand strategy

    See how we find what makes a business worth choosing: discovery calls, brand findings and the strategy behind every design decision.

  2. Brand identity

    Help on moodboards (Dotted Boarding), design development rounds and the design process: logo, colour, type and patterns.

  3. Social media and content

    Plan posts around content pillars and real local moments, and make graphics for brands' pages.

  4. Content production

    Help on shoots, photos and short videos for client pages.

  5. Brand rollout

    See how a new brand goes live across signs, packaging, cards and feeds, and why consistency matters.

  6. How a studio runs

    Briefs, feedback, deadlines and talking with real business owners. The stuff school doesn't cover.

Not louder. Clearer. That's what you'll practise every day.

What we look for

Skills can be taught. Attitude is harder.

Helpful but not required: basic design software, a phone camera you know how to use, and a habit of noticing brands.

  • Hunger

    You want to learn real-world branding, and you show up like it.

  • Clear thinking

    You can explain why you made a choice, in plain words.

  • Openness to feedback

    You take notes, not offence. Then you make the next version better.

  • Care for the details

    Spelling, spacing, file names. Small things are how clients judge a brand.
