As a Brand Design Intern, you’ll get hands‑on experience inside that team, contributing real work to real brand moments while learning how craft, systems, and storytelling come together at scale. You’ll partner closely with the Brand Studio team, and get exposure to cross‑functional partners along the way.

• A portfolio (school projects, personal work, or previous internships) that shows visual curiosity and a developing sense of craft across image‑making, composition, typography, and color
• Working proficiency in Figma
• Strong visual communication skills and comfort sharing early, unpolished work for feedback
• Comfort navigating ambiguity and asking questions to gain context

While it’s not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:

• Exposure to motion or animation tools (e.g., Figma Motion, After Effects)
• Early experimentation with AI‑powered image or content generation tools
• Familiarity with brand systems or design systems, even at a coursework level
