UI/UX Design Intern

Requirements

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist in designing wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity UI mockups across web and mobile platforms.
• Translate requirements into clean, consistent user interfaces aligned with the design system.
• Apply design tokens and variables to maintain visual consistency across components.
• Iterate on designs based on feedback from stakeholders and real users.
• Participate actively in design critiques, sharing work and incorporating constructive feedback.
• Support the team in day-to-day design tasks and contribute to ongoing projects.

Requirements:
Must-Have

• Bachelor's degree (or currently pursuing) in Computer Science, Interaction Design, HCI, or an equivalent field.
• At least 6 months of hands-on experience in UI/UX design, through internships, freelance work, or personal projects.
• A basic portfolio showcasing design thinking, visual skills, and an eye for usability and aesthetics — student or personal projects are welcome.
• Basic understanding of design systems, variables, and tokens and how they contribute to consistent, scalable design.
• Familiarity with AI design tools and an understanding of how to apply them practically in a design workflow.
• Proficiency in Figma or an equivalent design tool.
• Open to feedback, eager to grow, and willing to learn from every critique and collaboration.

Good to Have

• Experience with CMS platforms (e.g. Webflow, Framer, WordPress) for design and development.
• A design certification from recognised programmes such as Google UX Design, Interaction Design Foundation, or similar.
• Exposure to front-end technologies (HTML, CSS) — an appreciation for how design translates to code is a plus.

What We're Looking For

Beyond skills and tools, we care deeply about attitude and mindset. The ideal candidate:

• Approaches design problems with curiosity — you ask "why" before jumping to "how".
• Welcomes feedback openly and sees critique as a tool for growth, not criticism.
• Has a sharp eye for aesthetics, usability, and the small details that elevate an experience.
• Communicates their design decisions clearly and with confidence.
• Shows a genuine enthusiasm for design and a drive to keep improving.

Benefits

What You'll Gain

• Real ownership of design work shipped to production — not just spec documents.
• Mentorship from senior designers with experience across top product organizations.
• Exposure to the full product development lifecycle, from discovery to delivery.
• A stronger portfolio of real-world design work upon completion of the internship.
• Potential for a full-time offer based on performance.
