Visual Designer
5 months - Starting date: 01/09/2025
Netherlands
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. Our hands-on workshops will sharpen your skills even further.
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.
Please note: to be eligible for this internship, you are required to be living and studying in the Netherlands.
This internship is suitable for both regular and graduation internships.
What you'll do
Dive into exciting projects for clients like Tikkie, Inter Milan, Hubo, and Lufthansa.
Design of creative concepts, presentations and various animations.
Designing responsive interfaces based on wireframes made by a UX designer.
Transforming a visual identity into a usable interface for a website or app.
Crafting interactive prototypes with best of class UI animations.
If you want to do your graduation assignment in addition to the internship, it is important that you know what you want and proactively think along with us to create a clear internship assignment.
