About the Team

The Visual Design team is responsible for all internal and external graphic design needs throughout the company. In terms of customer-facing design, we create a lot of the sales, marketing and delivery content that our customers see. Additionally, the Visual Design team supports product development (vehicles, products, apparel) and we also support the design needs for all internal teams.

What to Expect

Interns will be working (virtually) alongside our team in creating designs for external and internal use. The scope of work will be very wide, and we treat the interns as if they are full-time team members. This means a lot of responsibility and exposure to work that has immediate relevance to our company’s mission. This internship (at least for the time being) will be one where the intern works from home.

Requirements

Specific project assignments and required technical aptitude will vary:

• Must be working on a degree in a design field (preferably visual design, industrial design, UI/UX, graphic design etc)
• Would prefer juniors or seniors at the university level.
• Must be proficient in the Adobe creative suite of software.
• Beneficial to have experience in photography, retouching, motion graphics, and illustration.
• Must be able to submit a portfolio showing both student and any previous internship work.
