Graphic Design Intern

Invariant
Washington, DC Intern
POSTED ON 5/8/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/6/2026
Description

We're looking for a Creative Design Intern to join our Digital Studio team for the summer. This is a hands-on role where you'll be working directly with our Art Director on real client work from day one.

What You'll Do

  • Execute design production across client accounts — social graphics, presentation decks, digital assets, and print collateral
  • Jump into existing Figma, Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign files to make edits, updates, and versioned exports
  • Support the development and build-out of branded PowerPoint templates
  • Manage and track your own workload—logging requests, updating statuses, and flagging blockers proactively
  • Conduct light research as needed to support creative briefs and campaign concepts
  • Collaborate closely with the Art Director and broader digital team on active accounts

What We're Looking For

  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite—Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign
  • Working knowledge of Figma—ability to navigate files, make edits, and export assets. We use Figma for digital asset creation more than UI web projects.
  • Strong attention to detail—pixel-perfect matters here
  • A proactive, self-starting attitude—you follow up, check in, and ask the right questions without being asked. You flag when you're stuck and keep things moving.
  • Ability to manage multiple requests simultaneously without losing track of anything
  • Copywriting or content skills are a bonus, but not required

Nice To Have

  • Experience with PowerPoint template design
  • Familiarity with project management tools like Basecamp
  • Interest in public affairs, communications, or political strategy

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Interns will begin their term with Invariant in person on May 26, 2026 through August 11, 2026. The compensation for this position is $19/hour for undergraduate candidates and $24/hour for graduate candidates.

Invariant is committed to creating a diverse culture and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.
