ABOUT THE PROGRAM

We are opening applications for our 3-Month Designer Internship Program and are looking for 25 motivated, creative individuals from the EMEA Region (Europe, Middle East and Africa) who are passionate about design and eager to grow in an online studio professional environment.

This is a structured, hands-on internship with access to a Premium Course of lessons and full Mentorship. Selected interns will have weekly presentations by senior creatives, work alongside our design team on real briefs, and leave with a portfolio-ready body of work.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds. If you are a recent graduate, current student, or self-taught designer who can demonstrate strong creative potential, this is your chance to expand your skills. We value attitude and curiosity as much as technical skill.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

The internship is divided into three progressive phases.

Over 12 weeks, interns move from foundational learning to independent project ownership.

DAY-TO-DAY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Participate in weekly team presentations and design workshops

  • Contribute to real design briefs across brand, digital, and marketing disciplines

  • Receive and apply feedback through structured critique sessions

  • Collaborate with senior designers, brand leads, and marketing partners

  • Maintain and develop your personal portfolio throughout the program

  • Complete weekly homework exercises and a final capstone project

We are looking for 25 candidates who bring curiosity, drive, and a genuine love of design.

You do not need to be perfect! You need to be coachable, committed, and creative.
