Summer Motion Design Intern
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.

From research and innovation sessions to motion for brand identity systems, you’ll have a hand in all aspects of the design process from beginning to end. You will report directly to our senior motion designer under the guidance of a hands-on company principal, all while learning every day and creating meaningful work.
