Experience Designer Intern (Summer 2023)

A BrightHouse Experience Designer is someone who is tasked with creating immersive experiences—digital, physical, or both. They are individuals who use insights grounded in human behavior to create compelling experiences that leave lasting impressions. There are many tools at their disposal, technology, vernacular cues, sensory input, graphics and motion. They share many qualities with an art director and designer in the sense that their work must start with a concept. And they craft holistic designs that create a feeling, deliver information, inform, and inspire action. However, unlike art directors who are conceptually focused, experience designers are also focused on the creation and execution of digital and experiential concepts.

BrightHouse is looking for a Thinker and Experience Designer who thinks strategically as well as creatively, knows how to lead clients, is organized and self-motivated, and has a fantastic eye for design. Their energy and enthusiasm are apparent, and their skills are seen vividly in their work. They’re responsible for the exploration and conceptualization of design options on a number of deliverables including personas, user flows, journey mapping, service blueprints, identities, looks/feels, digital prototypes, collateral, illustrations, packaging, physical environments and activations, presentations, etc. They work as a member of a larger team and must be able to collaborate and communicate effectively to those around them, often in tight timeframes. This person is a conceptual thinker – strategic as well as pragmatic; and has an ability to generate trust and build alliances with co-workers. And above all, they have the professional maturity to accept critique in one’s work.

Though we are flexible in our return to office, we do expect candidates to reside in Atlanta for the duration of the internship.
