Brand Design Intern

New York, NY

The Brand Design Team is the heart and hand of how we express Instagram design internally and externally. We focus on brand expression in-product and out of product through environmental and artifact design, cultural programming and editorial storytelling on @design. As a Brand Design Intern, you will work closely with designers, engineers, content designers and marketing to define and ensure a coherent brand expression across our ecosystem. You’ll have multidisciplinary projects that bridge brand work across interactive, printed and environmental applications. You’ll have the opportunity to think systematically about a holistic brand system and articulate design decisions and iterate quickly. You'll cover the design spectrum–from quick, rough strategic ideation to polished final deliverables–we'll look for work that thinks big and gets attention, but also follows a conceptual thread down to the smallest details. You will be expected to utilize your full range of product design, communication design, and visual design skills.
