Paid Internship · London · 5 months

About the role

We're looking for a talented and curious Graphic Design Intern to join our London studio for a five-month paid internship.

You'll learn alongside experienced designers while contributing to live client projects, developing the creative confidence, practical skills and experience that will help you build a career in world-class design. From research and early ideas through to design development and delivery, you'll gain hands-on experience in a collaborative studio while learning from some of the industry's best.

We're looking for outstanding graphic designers. Great graphic design is the foundation, but we also love people who bring something a little different to the team. It's often those additional interests, perspectives and creative pursuits that make our strongest teams even stronger.

What your day might look like:

  • Contributing to the development of the world's biggest brand’s identities, visual systems and digital assets

  • Experimenting with cutting edge emerging creative tools and AI as part of the design process

  • Exploring fresh ideas through sketching, prototyping and visual storytelling

  • Creating layouts, typography, presentations and digital content with support from experienced designers

  • Collaborating with designers across brand, digital, industrial design, CMF and strategy

  • Taking part in workshops, research and testing sessions

  • Bringing your own creative interests and perspectives into project work

  • Supporting wider studio projects and day-to-day activities while continuing to learn and develop

  • Presenting your project work in internal team meetings

Who we'd like to find

Since 2004, we’ve grown from only four to over a hundred by finding the right people – people that don’t only slot right into our studio culture, but bring something incredible to it.

This role calls for someone who brings:

Big ideas — As a studio we work across visual, verbal, 3Dimensional and digital experiences – but the big idea is always the most important part of what we do. You're curious, enjoy exploring different ways to solve problems, and are keen to contribute ideas as part of the creative process.

Strong design foundations – Graphic design is your craft. You have an eye for typography, composition, layout and visual communication, with a portfolio that demonstrates creativity, craft and attention to detail.

Embraces Variety — One of our strengths is the variety of clients and projects that come through our doors. We're looking for someone who enjoys working across different types of projects, collaborating with people from different disciplines and learning new ways of thinking.

AI-native — You're curious about how AI is changing creative work and already use it as part of your process. Whether it's prompting, rapid exploration, generating ideas or learning new tools, you're excited by emerging technologies and thoughtful about how they can enhance creativity – not replace it.

Something unexpected — Alongside your graphic design skills, we'd love to see what else you bring. Whether it's animation, photography, filmmaking, AI experimentation, illustration, creative coding, writing, music or something we've never considered before, we want to see what makes you uniquely you.

Specifically, you’ll have:

  • A portfolio that demonstrates experimentation paired with excellent graphic design fundamentals, while also giving us a glimpse into what makes you creatively unique. We want to see not only what you can do, but what you could bring to our studio

  • Confidence using Figma and Adobe Creative Suite

  • Great attention to detail and visual craft

  • Strong typography, composition and visual communication skills

  • A collaborative mindset and enthusiasm for learning

  • Strong communication and presentation skills

  • The right to work in the UK

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 salary

  • Training, mentoring and personal development

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

  • Hybrid working, with a minimum of four days a week in our London studio
