By bridging design, brand systems, and production, the team delivers polished, print-ready assets for events, internal communications, marketing, and broadcast, along with digital assets for distribution. As a production-focused Graphic Design Intern, you will gain hands-on experience preparing real-world assets for print and digital distribution. You will adapt and refine designs for print production—modifying and expanding existing assets, organizing files, supporting logo development, and delivering press-ready materials. You’ll collaborate with designers, the production team, and cross-functional partners to ensure accuracy, consistency, and high-quality execution across projects. This internship offers the opportunity to learn print production best practices within a professional creative environment.

Interns will build foundational skills in typography, file preparation, logo systems, and brand layout execution. You’ll also gain exposure to how design translates into physical production, including packaging, signage, large-format graphics, and event materials. With insight into paper selection, print methods, and color systems, you’ll work on real projects in a fast-paced media environment and develop a deeper understanding of how creative concepts move from idea to final output.
