UI/UX Design

About the Opportunity
Are you a passionate designer ready to transition from conceptual case studies to real-world product development? We are seeking a highly motivated UI/UX Design Intern to join our product team for an intensive 4-month learning experience.

We want to be fully transparent: while this is an unpaid internship, it is explicitly structured as a career accelerator. You will not be working on dummy tasks; you will be an active contributor to live product features. This role provides end-to-end exposure to the complete design lifecycle, offering you the rare opportunity to build a portfolio of shipped products, learn how to collaborate directly with engineering teams, and receive dedicated mentorship in a professional tech environment.

Your Role & Explicit Expectations
You will take genuine ownership of specific product features. Expect to dive into the following day-to-day responsibilities:

1. End-to-End Design: Craft intuitive user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity user interfaces for assigned features entirely in Figma.

2. Research & Strategy: Analyze project requirements and conduct competitor research to explore viable, user-centric solutions before jumping into pixels.

3. Prototyping & Validation: Build interactive prototypes to effectively communicate user journeys, validate design concepts, and test usability.

4. terative Refinement: Actively participate in design reviews, refining your work based on constructive feedback while adhering strictly to our established design system.

5. Seamless Developer Handoff: Prepare meticulous design specifications, documentation, and assets. You will work closely with developers to ensure your designs are feasible and flawlessly implemented.

6. Project Ownership: Manage your own timelines, communicate progress proactively, and flag blockers early to keep the product moving.

Who We Are Looking For

1. A Grounded Designer: You have a firm grasp of core UI/UX principles, including typography, spacing, layout, color theory, and user-centered design.

2. A Capable Figma User: You are comfortable working in Figma, seamlessly navigating both UI wireframing and basic prototyping.

3. A Proven Creator: You can share a portfolio (personal, academic, or freelance) that effectively showcases your design thinking and practical skills.

4. An Iterative Learner: You thrive on constructive feedback and possess a strong drive to continuously improve your designs through iteration.

5. A Collaborative Communicator: You clearly articulate your design choices and work seamlessly with a team.

6. A Meticulous Owner: You pay strict attention to detail and take full accountability for the quality of your output.

7. A Reliable Executor: You manage your time effectively, prioritize tasks well, and consistently meet project deadlines.

What You Will Gain (The Value Proposition)
We view this 4-month commitment as a mutual investment in your future. In exchange for your dedication, you will receive:

1. A Live Product Portfolio: Tangible experience working on real-world applications that deliver measurable impact—exactly what recruiters look for.

2. Professional Mentorship: Regular design reviews, 1:1 feedback, and guidance from experienced professionals to rapidly accelerate your design maturity.

3. Cross-Functional Exposure: Hands-on experience collaborating directly with developers and project managers—a critical industry skill rarely taught in design school.

4. Career Credentials: A formal Certificate of Internship upon successful completion and a personalized Letter of Recommendation (LOR) based on your performance, consistency, and contributions.

5. Skill Cultivation: Significant improvement in professional soft skills like time management, project prioritization, and cross-team communication.
