Meet the Next Wave of Design Mavericks •
In the fast-paced, ever-evolving landscape of design, branding, and digital innovation, keeping things fresh and pushing boundaries is the name of the game. We’re not just talking pixels and code here; it’s about infusing that creative mojo into every corner of what we do. And that’s why we’re stoked – like really stoked – to announce that our 2023 intern program application process has wrapped up. Spoiler alert: the talent rolling in? Absolutely mind-blowing. We’re talking design ninjas, brand wizards, and digital architects who are about to bring some serious heat to our team.
Just to backtrack a little – our application window closed on June 30, 2023, and the flood of applications? Yeah, it was real. We had way more designers sliding into our DMs (well, inbox) than we ever imagined, making the selection process a bit of a mission – but hey, we love a good challenge. After combing through portfolios, checking out some jaw-dropping creative work, and long nights of “how do we even choose” debates, we finally locked in the best of the best. These folks are about to join our creative ecosystem and shake things up in the most epic way possible.
Kickstart with a Killer Onboarding
We’re not about throwing anyone into the deep end without a life vest. Our onboarding process? Think of it like the ultimate project kick-off, where the intern is the VIP client. Each intern gets paired with a dedicated mentor – basically, their creative spirit guide – who’ll help them hit the ground running. Whether it’s answering questions about the design system, reviewing wireframes, or getting deep into the branding playbook, these mentors are the go-to resource. Day one isn’t just an intro; it’s like opening up a new Figma file with unlimited potential.
Seamless Team Integration? You Bet
Let’s be real, joining a new team can feel like dropping into the middle of a fast-moving design sprint. But not with us. We’ve got a solid playbook for making sure our interns don’t just blend in, but actually feel like they’re part of the crew from the get-go. Regular stand-ups, brainstorming sessions, and even the occasional meme-filled Slack chat are all on the table. We host team huddles where ideas flow, creativity sparks, and interns get to rub shoulders with everyone from junior devs to senior UX leads. And yeah, there’ll be plenty of social events too, because creative sparks fly best when everyone feels at home.
Real-World Projects, Real-World Impact
Now let’s talk work – because that’s what the intern program is all about, right? Forget the coffee runs and photocopying. Our interns dive straight into live projects. Whether it’s helping craft the next-gen user experience for a new website or developing a killer brand identity, they’ll be working on stuff that actually goes live. We’re not just letting them shadow; we’re putting them in the driver’s seat, getting hands-on with everything from prototyping in Figma to pixel-pushing in Sketch, coding dynamic layouts, or fine-tuning animations in After Effects. It’s all about bringing those big ideas to life and making a tangible impact.
Mentorship: Your Creative Compass
Think of mentorship here as less “hierarchical” and more “collaborative jam session.” Our mentors are seasoned pros – design leads, creative strategists, UX gurus – who are ready to share the inside scoop on everything from mastering your design flow to keeping clients wowed at every turn. Plus, we’re serving up growth opportunities left and right. Workshops? Check. Skill-building sessions on the latest in UI trends or coding frameworks? Double check. We’ve even got industry events and meetups lined up so interns can soak in knowledge from the best of the best. It’s all about making sure our interns aren’t just leveling up – they’re evolving into full-blown creative rockstars.
Celebrating Wins, Big and Small
Around here, we’re all about celebrating the journey just as much as the destination. That’s why we don’t just wait for the final deliverables to dish out feedback. Regular touchpoints, feedback loops, and constructive critiques will ensure every intern knows where they stand – and where they’re crushing it. Oh, and we love throwing some kudos their way when they knock it out of the park. We’re talking dedicated recognition events, project showcases, and shout-outs to the intern who nailed that killer concept or solved a complex coding challenge. Because at the end of the day, we want every intern to leave here feeling accomplished, motivated, and ready to tackle the next big creative challenge.
To Our Interns: You Made the Cut, Now Let’s Make Magic
Huge props to everyone who applied, but a massive high-five to those who made it in. Your talent, drive, and passion for design had us floored from the get-go. We’re hyped to see how you’ll contribute, learn, and innovate alongside us. This isn’t just an internship – it’s your ticket to an all-access pass into the world of cutting-edge design, brand building, and web creation.
As we welcome this fresh wave of creative talent, we’re all about setting them up for success. From personalized onboarding and seamless team integration to working on impactful projects and receiving killer mentorship, we’re confident that our interns are about to blow the lid off the place. Here’s to an amazing journey together in 2023 and beyond! Let’s make some magic.
