Blink is looking for a Product Design Intern to join us for our summer internship program. During our paid, summer internship program, you’ll collaborate with fellow team members to make work that matters. While you’ll be exposed to a variety of studio projects, the summer internship program focuses on pro-bono client projects. Projects from past years include work with Wellspring, Partner to Decide, Rescuing Leftover Cuisine, ImpactMapper, Sistah Biz, and Welfie.
A few reasons we feel our summer internship program shines bright in our industry:
● Our program provides interns with a fully immersive user-centered design project experience. From discovery workshopping and conception ideation to prototype testing and design documentation, you’ll work closely with Blink designers and researchers, client stakeholders, and fellow interns.
● Each intern has a Blink manager providing mentorship, direction, and support to ensure an experience of learning and growth. Our studio environment is also hungry for your new ideas to expand our perspective and push our design practice forward.
The work details:
● Location: There is a location requirement to reside in one of the following locations during the internship: Boston or San Francisco (Blink studio locations). However, interns are not required to come into the studio every day. We encourage our intern cohort to utilize in-person work for collaboration, mentorship, and studio events.
● Hourly Pay rate: $25/hr
● Project Duration: Our internship runs 12 weeks from June 2nd to August 22nd.
● Internship Applications Close: Friday, March 7th, 2025, at 5 pm PST.
