I’m hiring a studio intern!
The Design Emporium is my tiny little design studio here in Atlanta. Your internship with the Emporium is hopefully different from any other you’ll encounter in school – you work directly with me and my pups out of our home office in West End, collaborating on internal projects and real client work. We’ll go out to lunch, I’ll play music, and feed you nearly unlimited coffee or seltzer. This is an opportunity for one-on-one mentorship, building useful skills like presenting to clients, and practicing your design chops.
FAQ:

Someone passionate about design, with a sense of humor. You’re still in school (recent graduates are fine too, as are self-taught students) and you’re studying something like graphic design or visual communications.

Fact-checking, research, art direction, social media graphics, poster and booklet design, eating ice cream, creating brand guidelines and web design (don’t worry, you’ll learn all of this along the way).
What will I get out of this internship?
An upfront view of what it’s like to be a freelancer – the day-to-day projects, processes, and techniques.

“Working one-on-one with Sarah was such a positive experience. I took on a variety of projects that challenged my skills and improved them. The work was meaningful, enjoyable, and helped me grow as a designer. I loved this unique internship with Sarah!”
“Working with Sarah not only expanded my knowledge of general design, but also allowed me to use design to implement my own interests. This has further ignited my passion for design. Working with her one-on-one really gave me the time and space to ask questions and find new opportunities I didn’t even know existed.”

Please do not send me a resume and/or cover letter!
Instead, fill out this questionnaire:
I want to get a better idea of who you are and what you’re about, something I don’t think resumes and formal cover letters tend to convey. Every question is required, but seriously, don’t sweat each one.
I’ll respond to every application that comes through, whether you receive the internship or not – if you take the time to thoughtfully fill this out, I will take the time to reply to you!
