Graphic Design Intern

Description

We're looking for a Creative Design Intern to join our Digital Studio team for the summer. This is a hands-on role where you'll be working directly with our Art Director on real client work from day one. 

What you'll do:

• Execute design production across client accounts — social graphics, presentation decks, digital assets, and print collateral
• Jump into existing Figma, Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign files to make edits, updates, and versioned exports
• Support the development and build-out of branded PowerPoint templates
• Manage and track your own workload—logging requests, updating statuses, and flagging blockers proactively
• Conduct light research as needed to support creative briefs and campaign concepts
• Collaborate closely with the Art Director and broader digital team on active accounts

What we're looking for:

• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite—Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign
• Working knowledge of Figma—ability to navigate files, make edits, and export assets. We use Figma for digital asset creation more than UI web projects.
• Strong attention to detail—pixel-perfect matters here
• A proactive, self-starting attitude—you follow up, check in, and ask the right questions without being asked. You flag when you're stuck and keep things moving.
• Ability to manage multiple requests simultaneously without losing track of anything
• Copywriting or content skills are a bonus, but not required

Nice to have:

• Experience with PowerPoint template design
• Familiarity with project management tools like Basecamp
• Interest in public affairs, communications, or political strategy
