Graphic designer (Packaging), Internship

About the Role

We are building a consumer technology brand and are looking for a designer who obsesses over the entire brand experience, from packaging to the smallest details. This role focuses on thinking beyond the product to create memorable touchpoints.

Key Responsibilities

• Packaging Artwork: Own the visual design of packaging, from retail boxes to printed details, using typography, colors, graphics, illustrations, imagery, layouts, and visual storytelling.
• Unboxing Experience: Design inserts, inner trays, box graphics, product presentation, and protective packaging to create a delightful customer discovery sequence.
• Brand Details: Design functional elements like thank-you notes, welcome cards, stickers, seals, tapes, labels, instruction cards, quick-start guides, and quote cards to create moments of delight.
• Brand Expression: Explore how design, words, illustrations, visual storytelling, and materials can express the brand's identity.
• Consistent Experience: Build a recognizable packaging language across the product range, ensuring each product has its own character while feeling distinctly part of the brand.
• Physical Product Realization: Translate ideas beyond mockups, collaborating with product, R&D, marketing, and operations teams, as well as printers and packaging vendors, to turn concepts into tangible products. Experiment with materials, finishes, printing techniques, and formats; create prototypes and refine ideas.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Strong portfolio demonstrating visual thinking, creativity, and attention to detail.
• Good foundation in typography, layout, color, composition, and visual storytelling.
• Working knowledge of design tools such as Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
• InDesign or other relevant tools are a plus.
• Interest in packaging, branding, editorial design, product design, illustration, print, or physical experiences.
• Willingness to learn about materials, print production, packaging formats, and working with vendors.

Qualifications

• A keen eye for detail, where typography, spacing, color, materials, and composition are important.
• Ability to think in experiences, not just layouts, and curiosity about user interaction with products.
• Enjoyment of exploring ideas, sketching, experimenting, creating mood boards, and building mockups.
• Ability to think in both words and visuals, understanding how text and imagery can transform a design.
• Understanding of manufacturability, durability, practicality, and commercial sensibility in design concepts.
• Curiosity about consumer brands and physical products, and an interest in why certain products and brands feel special.
• Prior packaging experience is useful, but we're more interested in how you think, what you notice, and what you're capable of creating.
