Looking to kick off your creative career as a UX designer? Join our talent program designed to shape you into a next-level UX designer. We’ll give you all the support, feedback, and high fives you need to grow into a standout professional.
During your internship as a UX Designer, you’ll wear many hats:
Researcher: Dive into research to understand the “why” behind user behavior.
Logic-Maker: Map out logical user flows, user journeys and information architectures.
Designer: Design UX wireframes to define the right user interaction.
Tester: After your black-and-white wireframes are turned into a visual appealing prototype by the UI designer, you validate them through usability testing and iterate together until the experience feels seamless.
Storyteller: Present your designs and logic to the team and stakeholders.
You bring the drive and ambition, and we provide you with everything you need. From day one, you’ll be paired with a dedicated mentor for 1-on-1 coaching and join a powerhouse team of 40+ passionate designers who always have your back.
By the end of your UX design 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.
