What are the responsibilities and job description for the Design Intern position at Molly Bowen Design?
This is a learning role for someone early in their design path who wants to see how real projects get made. You'll work under our designers, supporting the day-to-day across drawings, selections, the showroom, and install. You'll get hands on real software, real materials, and real client work — the best way to build a foundation. Bring curiosity, taste, and a willingness to do the unglamorous parts well. This is a paid internship.
