SUMMER BRAND DESIGN INTERNSHIP JOB LISTING:
Us: We’re a welcoming group of talented creatives who specialize in branding, design strategy, packaging, and web, with an impressive list of national clients. We’re serious about our work but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. Our team is small but mighty, and committed to creating courageously, making design accessible, and igniting joy through our work.
You: As an intern, you’ll wear a number of hats in our collaborative and fast-paced environment. From research and innovation sessions to brand identity systems and packaging, you’ll have a hand in all aspects of the design process. You will report directly to our senior designers under the guidance of a hands-on company principal, all while learning every day and creating meaningful work.
With us, you will:
• Create cohesive brand identities across packaging, print, and web
• Collaborate with team members to brainstorm ideas, challenge concepts to be their best during internal critiques, and build relationships with clients
• Learn the cognitive science behind branding and how to conduct competitive audits, brand research, and design thinking sessions
• Be an integral part of DBB’s inclusive company culture, as we continue to grow as a design agency and do what we love
Are you:
• Fluent in the language of design with an exceptional portfolio
• Familiar with the tools of the trade: the Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, & Indesign) Bonus points if you have knowledge in Substance & Figma
• Located in or willing to move to Chicago, IL
• Interested in cognitive science and the psychology behind making brands that are easy to love, recognize, and remember
• Eager to learn new programs and methods, and develop new skills like copywriting, managing projects, and presenting to clients
• Most importantly, are you a creative and curious person who may or may not be an exact fit based on the requirements above? Still apply.
We offer:
$22/hour
A hybrid work schedule with in-office days Tuesday through Thursday, and remote days on Monday and Friday.
2 paid vacation days, as well as paid summer Fridays between Memorial Day and Labor Day — an early end to the day so you can go enjoy the sunshine.
An office with a view in Chicago’s West Loop with easy access to public transportation, local restaurants and shops, and debatably the best view of the skyline (did somebody say, rooftop?!)
We believe:
Design is for everyone. So it’s important that our own team reflects the diverse groups of people who will interact with our designs. At Design B&B, we are committed to providing equal employment opportunities to all applicants regardless of race, color, religion, age, national origin, disability, gender and identity. Don’t hesitate to ask us about our initiatives to create equity within our workplace and the design industry.
