Description

Description Graphic Design Intern We’re looking for a Graphic Design Intern to support our creative team across a variety of client initiatives. This role offers hands-on exposure to brand development, campaign design, digital content, and visual storytelling — while working alongside designers, writers, and strategists in a fast-paced agency environment. The internship is expected to run from approximately May–August 2026 (exact dates to be finalized). The weekly schedule and exact hours will be determined based on the selected candidate’s availability and agency needs. A Day In The Life: Graphic Design Intern Each day starts with checking in on active projects and reviewing creative briefs. You might begin by assisting with social graphics, refining layout concepts, or preparing files for an upcoming campaign. Throughout the day, you’ll work closely with the design and creative teams — sitting in on brainstorms, supporting campaign development, and learning how strategy shapes visual direction. You may help build out digital ads, email designs, presentation materials, or brand collateral. There’s built-in time to learn and ask questions, whether that’s understanding how brand standards guide design decisions, receiving feedback on layouts, or seeing how creative concepts move from idea to execution. By the end of the internship, you’ll have hands-on agency experience, portfolio-ready work, and a clearer picture of what a career in graphic design looks like. About You You’re curious about design, branding, and how visuals communicate ideas. You enjoy creating, refining, and thinking about how typography, color, imagery, and layout work together. You’re detail-oriented, organized, and open to feedback. You’re excited to contribute ideas while learning from experienced designers in a collaborative environment. A portfolio of design work is required — academic, personal, or professional. About Us Flynn Wright is a full-service marketing agency with offices in Des Moines, Sioux Falls, and Portland. For more than 40 years, human creativity has been at the heart of our success. We believe strong storytelling, thoughtful strategy, and meaningful relationships help brands connect — and we’re committed to developing the next generation of creative professionals. Responsibilities Support the design team in developing brand collateral, digital ads, social graphics, email designs, and other marketing materials. Assist with layout, asset preparation, and production work across campaigns. Help ensure creative aligns with brand standards and strategic objectives. Collaborate with copywriters, Account Service team members, and project managers to execute cohesive creative. Prepare files for print and digital delivery as needed. Sit in on meetings and learn how creative strategies are developed and executed. Help ensure projects stay organized, accurate, and on schedule. Qualifications Current college student or recent graduate in graphic design, visual communications, or related field. Working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop required; After Effects or motion is a plus). Strong understanding of typography, layout, and visual hierarchy. Organized and able to manage multiple tasks. Comfortable collaborating and asking questions in a team environment. Portfolio of design work required. Perks + Benefits Paid internship experience. Hands-on exposure to creative development and campaign work. Mentorship from experienced designers and creative leaders. Real client experience and portfolio-building opportunities. Office located in the heart of downtown Des Moines. Collaborative, people-first agency culture.
