About the job

We’re looking for a talented and passionate designer to join our growing Amsterdam studio for a 3–6 month paid internship.

This is a hands-on opportunity to work in a creative and supportive environment, collaborating with experienced designers to create brand identities, experiences, and visual stories for some of the world’s biggest brands.

What your day might look like:

  • Designing and developing brand identities, visual systems, and digital assets for our clients

  • Creating static, motion, and interactive visuals that bring ideas to life

  • Exploring experimental digital design, including AI tools, prototyping, and creative coding

  • Supporting projects from brainstorming to development, testing, and final presentations

  • Participating in workshops, research, and testing sessions

  • Conducting market research to discover trends, competitor strategies, and consumer insights 

  • Assisting the team with various design tasks and studio activities

Who we'd like to find

Since opening five years ago, our Amsterdam studio has grown from four to fifteen by finding the right people – people that don’t only slot right into our studio culture, but bring something incredible to it.

We’d love to hear from you if you:

  • Are a multidisciplinary designer currently studying a 2D visual design course

  • Have a strong graphic sensibility and a keen eye for art direction

  • Are focused on digital and motion design, and love experimenting with new tools and software – including with AI-driven tools, alongside Figma and Adobe Creative Suite

  • Are curious about creative coding (it’s a plus, not a must)

  • Love pushing creative boundaries across graphics, motion, and digital design

  • Are a collaborative team player, eager to learn and grow from different disciplines

  • Have a genuine passion for design and creativity

  • Are able to work in our Amsterdam studio at least three days a week

What we offer

People mean the world to us. That includes looking after our own, with things like:

  • Global clients and world-class work

  • A competitive internship fee

  • Training, support and personal career development

  • A unique, inspiring working environment filled with incredible, like minded people

  • A flexible working pattern, with at least three days a week in our Amsterdam studio and up to two days remote
