Intern Visual Designer

This role is part of our Experience & Engineering business team. We combine our skills in developing future-ready technical solutions with our expertise in creating beautiful designs to deliver exceptional and engaging digital experiences that build lasting relationships with our clients like Tikkie, Inter Milan, Hubo, and Lufthansa.

JOB PURPOSE

Looking to kick off your creative career as a visual designer? Join our talent program designed to shape you into a next-level visual designer. We’ll give you all the attention, feedback, GIFs, and high fives you need to grow into a standout professional. Our goal? To help you reach your full potential.

During this internship you’ll be trading training wheels for turbojets. One minute you’re designing slick, responsive screens in Figma, the next you’re making a killer presentation for a client meeting. Need to show how a concept feels? Fire up a click-through prototype, add a buttery-smooth transition to your prototype or fine-tune micro-interactions in Jitter. Feel like pushing boundaries? Play with component variants, build up a dynamic design system, or design a wild visual screen that breaks the grid.

From day one, you’ll be paired with a dedicated mentor for 1-on-1 coaching and join a team of 40+ passionate designers always ready to help. 

By the end of your internship, you’ll have gained valuable experience in the field, worked on projects for A-list clients, and built a portfolio that truly turns heads.

The closing date for this position is 23rd December.

Note: to be eligible for this internship, you are required to be living and studying in the Netherlands.
Please don't forget to attach your portfolio when applying, and most importantly, don't hold back - put a good dose of personality in that cover letter!
