Graphic Design Intern - AI Search and Competitive Intelligence

About Astiva AI

AI search engines are replacing Google for product discovery. ChatGPT has 883 million monthly users. 93% of AI search sessions end without visiting a website. Most B2B brands are completely invisible when AI recommends solutions in their category.
Astiva AI is the platform that fixes this. We help B2B brands monitor, understand, and improve how they appear across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity with transparent methodology, actionable recommendations, and industry-specific intelligence that no competitor offers.
We are building our founding team in Bengaluru.

The Role

You will be part of the Desgin team at Astiva AI, You own everything visual the brand system, every LinkedIn graphic, the pitch deck investors see, the Product Hunt launch assets, the data infographics in our benchmark reports, the blog headers, the email templates. All of it.
You will work directly with the founder every single day. Short feedback loops. Real output that ships. No design-by-committee. No three weeks of approvals.

This role exists because design is a competitive weapon for us. In a market where 20+ tools compete for attention, the brand that looks most trustworthy wins. That is your job make Astiva the most trusted-looking brand in AI visibility.

What You Will Own

Brand Identity and Design System
Build the visual foundation from scratch — color usage, typography scale, iconography, spacing rules, branded templates for every recurring content type. This becomes the system that scales.

Social Media Design (8–10 pieces/week)

LinkedIn graphics for the founder's personal profile (5/week) and the company page (3/week). Data visualization posts, carousel designs, stat callouts, milestone announcements, comparison visuals. Every piece must stop the scroll and build trust.

Marketing Collateral

Product one-pagers for sales. Blog header images. Email templates. Product Hunt launch assets (hero image, screenshot gallery, feature cards). Everything a pre-launch startup needs to look like it belongs in the market.

Data Visualization and Infographics
This is the skill that separates you from other design interns. Astiva publishes monthly benchmark reports with proprietary AI search data. You will turn raw numbers into clear, compelling visual stories charts, comparison matrices, industry infographics. This content gets cited by LLMs, journalists, and industry analysts.

Presentation Design
Investor pitch decks, client presentations, internal strategy documents. Clean, premium, data-driven. Not template decks with stock photos custom-designed slides that match our brand and reinforce trust.

*Video and Motion *
Short animated graphics for social media. YouTube videos.

Why Join a small Startup Instead of a Big Company?

At a 50-person company, you will make banner ads and resize graphics for six months. Nobody will remember your name.
At Astiva, you will build a brand from scratch. You will design the pitch deck that goes to investors. You will create the Product Hunt assets for our public launch. You will make the infographics that get cited by ChatGPT.
In 6 months, your portfolio will have more real-world impact than most designers accumulate in 3 years. And if you are good, you become the design lead of a funded AI startup.
That is the trade. Less structure, more impact.
