You'll be an integral part of our UX team when you join as an intern. This means that we challenge you, and allow you to contribute just like any employee. We know that you still have a lot to learn, so you get enough room to make mistakes and grow each day.

Working on mobile apps, complex web applications, websites and other digital experiences will all be part of your internship. It starts from the foundation of understanding the client and business goals, all the way up to wireframes and making sure our visual squad has what they need for the next step in our process.

You’ll spend your day picking up tasks in ClickUp, getting down and dirty in Figma. And of course meme’ing around on Slack. You’re in direct contact with our clients. This means finding the right words to say why you made such and such design decisions is key. Not just towards the client but also to the rest of the team.

Together we’ll pair your schools' competences to make sure you excel in the thing you want to learn more about. At the end of your internship you'll be at least as good a UX designer you set out to be. But probably an even better one.

You like creative thinking, but try to stay organized while doing so and funneling your thoughts to land on suitable solutions. Passion for the UX industry is key.

If it was up to us, the user research portion of a product would never end. The more you dive into learning about a user base, the more you're triggered to find these intricate little insights that translate into clever design decisions.
