As a Visual Design Intern, you'll typically assist with a variety of projects such as creating digital assets for social media, designing layouts for web pages, contributing to branding materials, and supporting the development of marketing collateral. Interns are often encouraged to share their ideas and may be given creative ownership over smaller projects or aspects of larger campaigns.

A Visual Design Internship is a temporary position, often for students or recent graduates, that provides hands-on experience in creating visual concepts for digital or print media. Interns typically assist with designing graphics, layouts, branding materials, and user interfaces under the guidance of senior designers. The role offers opportunities to build a professional portfolio, learn industry-standard tools, and understand real-world design workflows. It’s a valuable stepping stone for those pursuing a career in graphic or visual design.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Visual Design Intern, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Visual Design Intern, you need a solid understanding of design principles, color theory, and typography, often demonstrated through a portfolio and coursework in graphic or visual design. Proficiency with industry-standard tools like Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and familiarity with prototyping tools such as Figma or Sketch are typically expected. Strong attention to detail, creativity, openness to feedback, and effective communication make a candidate stand out. These skills ensure you can create visually compelling work that aligns with brand goals and collaborate effectively within design teams.

Job description

About Us

At MeanPug, we believe every law firm has a unique story—and we help bring it to life through branding, web design, digital advertising, content, and more. We're a fast-paced, collaborative, and ambitious agency. We help our clients grow big, and we're growing right alongside them.

The Role

You’ll work closely with senior creatives, strategists, and developers to concept and produce motion-first digital experiences that feel alive. This role focuses on motion design for brands and products—think animated identities, web interactions, product explainers, and social content—while exploring how AI tools can supercharge your creative process and workflow.

What You'll Do

  • Concept, storyboard, and design motion assets for brand systems (logo animations, typographic motion, graphic systems in motion)
  • Assist in developing and maintaining brand identities across digital and print
  • Design modern, user-friendly web layouts and landing pages
  • Create engaging social media graphics and campaigns or motion graphic content (short-form video, animation, GIFs)
  • Use AI tools (e.g., Midjourney, Firefly, Runway, Figma AI, ChatGPT) to brainstorm ideas, generate visuals, and optimize creative workflows
  • Collaborate with creative, content, and strategy teams to ensure consistent design across all client touchpoints
  • Participate in creative reviews and bring fresh, experimental ideas to the table.

Requirements

  • 1–2 years of experience in motion design (internship experience counts)
  • Strong portfolio showing motion design work
  • Familiarity with motion design software (Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, After Effects, etc.)
  • Curiosity and hands-on experience with AI design tools (e.g., generating assets, editing visuals, creating campaign concepts)
  • Understanding of visual storytelling, composition, and typography
  • Collaborative mindset and ability to manage multiple projects with attention to detail

Bonus Skills

  • Interest in video editing or creative coding
  • Experience designing for paid media campaigns (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube)
  • Passion for tech, AI, or innovation in digital design

Benefits

  • Work at an agency known for doing it all—branding, web, ads, content—with lots of variety and growth potential
  • Opportunity to shape the visual identity of law firm clients (a niche market) and work on high-impact campaigns
  • Be part of a smart, driven, creative team that believes in doing excellent work and having fun

We offer perks designed to support your professional growth and well-being:

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance (US-based only)
  • Company-sponsored 401(k) plan with matching (US-based only)
  • Flexible work schedule — focus on results, not hours
  • Pet-friendly benefits — reimbursement of up to $500 for adoption fees or vaccinations
  • Choice of equipment to set you up for success (Mac or PC)
  • Team outings and optional social events throughout the year
  • A welcome plant to brighten your workspace
