The Role
Seeking an ambitious UI/UX Design Intern with a strong eye for UI to help design polished screens and connected user flows in Figma.

- Confidence in Figma: Experience using Auto Layout, reusable components, and variants across multiple connected screens. Organized files that are easy to understand.
- From Feedback to Handoff: Experience refining designs based on input from users, teammates, or clients. Experience preparing developer handoffs or working directly with developers is a strong plus.
- A Portfolio We Can Explore: Showcase at least two projects with finished product screens, explaining your contribution and the nature of the work (concept or released product).
- Momentum with Care: Efficiency in building connected screens, reusing components, and maintaining consistent quality.
- Curiosity and Communication: Ability to ask useful questions, welcome feedback, keep the team informed, explain decisions, and collaborate in English.
