Job description

Do you want to make your mark on a new and exciting brand developing clean, reliable, and abundant fusion energy that will revolutionize how we power the future? We're looking for a talented Graphic Design Intern with the skills and passion for crafting exciting and visually stunning designs. This internship offers hands-on opportunities to work on real projects while further developing your design skills in a professional environment.
About the Role
As a Graphic Design Intern, you'll work directly with our Head of External Affairs and CEO to help us think through our existing visual identify and how we present ourselves to our audiences, stress-test what's working and what's not, advocate for necessary and impactful design changes that push our identity forward, and develop compelling visual products across multiple platforms that better reflect our identity and scale as we grow as a business.
What You'll Do
You'll design and iterate on brand identity elements including logos, color palettes, typography systems, and visual guidelines. You'll create marketing materials such as social media graphics, presentations, print collateral, and digital assets that align with established brand standards. You'll assist in developing mood boards, design concepts, and presentations for client or stakeholder meetings. You'll also help maintain and organize our digital asset library and contribute to team brainstorming sessions and creative critiques.
What We're Looking For
You should have demonstrated experience developing branding and visual identity projects, whether through coursework, freelance work, or previous internships. Expert-level proficiency in the Adobe Creative Cloud suite of products is essential, particularly Illustrator, Photoshop, Lightroom, and InDesign, as well as experience in generative AI tools and workflows (eg. Midjourney, Magic Studio, Firefly). Familiarity with additional Adobe tools like Premiere and After Effects is a plus. You should have a strong portfolio showcasing your branding work and visual identity projects, with a keen eye for typography, color theory, and composition. We're looking for someone who can work both independently and collaboratively, manage multiple projects simultaneously, and communicate design concepts clearly. You should be receptive to feedback and eager to learn and grow as a designer.
Logistics
  • Immediate availability.
  • This is a paid, part-time position with no set end date. Duration will be based on the balance of our continued business needs and your availability and goals.
  • 1-2 days per week expected during the semester, with the opportunity to expand to additional hours during the summer as needed.
  • In-office work requirement. Duties will be performed at Realta Fusion offices in Madison, WI.

Application Requirements
  • Resume
  • Cover letter
  • Portfolio/work samples

Applicants who do not meet the entire job specification are encouraged to apply.
We value diversity as a critical factor in innovation and believe a diverse team is necessary to solve the toughest problems. We aim to create an inclusive environment that unleashes the full creativity of our team members from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. We provide equal employment opportunities to all individuals based on merit and without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other protected status under applicable laws.
