Design Intern

Remote

Kettle is a team of passionate, fearless creatives focused on delivering great products, redefining best-practices, and providing new opportunities for our clients. 

We are now accepting applications for our remote, 10 week, paid Summer internship program on our Visual and Product Design teams.

Being a designer at Kettle means playing a pivotal role in shaping experiences that span across departments, bringing creativity, strategy, and innovation together to craft meaningful solutions. Our designers are not just creators—they are collaborators, storytellers, problem-solvers, and visionaries who drive impact through design.

Our Visual Designers are imaginative, organized, and resourceful, combining artistry with systematic thinking to create compelling, forward-thinking work. They collaborate across teams to conceptualize and execute designs that are both beautiful and strategic, ensuring a seamless and cohesive visual experience.

Our Interaction Designers are experts in Figma and prototyping, translating vision into intuitive and scalable UX/UI solutions. They design new features, refine existing ones, and establish cohesive design patterns across platforms and devices. By partnering closely with Product Managers and Strategists, they push user experiences forward, ensuring every interaction is purposeful and engaging.

As our Design Intern, you will split your time between both teams to learn aspects of Visual and UX/UI design.

What you’ll do: 

  • Collaborate and work with design teams to create refined, scalable design solutions
  • Develop existing design concepts into new approaches
  • Help create, maintain and implement style guides to ensure consistent experiences
  • Help shape presentations to communicate concepts that tell a story
  • Create flat comps and interactive prototypes in collaboration with creative teams
  • Partner closely with creative leads to ensure work meets expectations
  • Participate in internal creative reviews, and impromptu work sessions
  • Co-create with other interns on a final Intern presentation based on a previous agency brief and present that work

What we’re looking for: 

  • Comfortable working in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite; additional creative software (motion, prototyping, coding) a plus
  • Confident presentation skills, and excellent written and verbal communication
  • A portfolio of work samples that show digital, UX and UI design
  • Familiarity with AI tools, and the ability to explain or demonstrate value gained through AI, and how you use it in your workflow

Requirements:

  • You must be entering your senior year of undergraduate studies, a recent graduate, master's student, career changer, reentering the workforce, or switching careers
  • You must be currently based in the U.S
  • You must be able to work approximately 40 hours per week for the duration of the program

The salary range for this role is between $20 - $25 per hour based skill set, education level, location, and experience.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
