Web (UI) Design Internship
Part-Time/ 3 Month Role
We’re looking for a talented designer to work on a variety of projects, and in a variety of mediums.
You’re going to be a good fit if you are keen to get involved in different projects and learn in a variety of circumstances, from website graphics (still and animation) through to mobile app UI design – and more.
Job Description
As an intern, your primary goal is to learn and be exposed to a variety of different things. We want to help you get some valuable experience so that you gain a better perspective on your career options, when that time comes.
Graphic design is applicable in many parts of our business (that’s why this job post is so open-ended). That will hopefully allow you to be involved in a few different projects, dealing with different types of people and different parts of the business, and finding what you want to work on.

The conditions of the position would be made available to you before the end of your internship, and you are not obliged to accept the position.

Culture and not the type that comes in your kombucha.
Working with balance
We work hard, but value life outside the office too. Get your work done, have a good time while doing. Balance is key
Working Hours and Place
There are no ‘fixed’ work hours, but a certain level of output is expected. We believe in being in the office for collaborative work, but team members can hunker down at home or a coffee shop for focus.
Boundless Growth
We believe in facilitating internal growth before looking to hire externally. If we’re doing this correctly, you should be interviewing for your junior within a year or two.
Working Together
As a small team, you often have a finger in a few different pies. That means everyone is aware what everyone else is working on. We have weekly team catch-up’s which keep everyone in the loop
Our Vibe
We’re chilled out people. We don’t take ourselves too seriously. On a typical day, there’s music going in the office and we sit around a coffee table that has some surf mags on it and eat lunch.
Getting it done
We pride ourselves on using resources efficiently. As a part of a multi-disciplinary team, you will likely be put out of your comfort zone from time to time. You will be given the opportunity to push yourself and to do more.
