Our office in London is looking for Interaction Design interns for the summer.
The work we do in London spans a range of industries from financial services, to automotive, to public services. And we are now focusing on some really interesting topics of sustainability and crowd-sourced innovation.
It would be great to find someone with skills in physical prototyping and also interface design. In return we can offer insight into our user-centered design processes, and the everyday workings of a design consultancy.
Due to visa restrictions we’re only taking on students with an EU passport this year. And we will offer a stipend for the internship.
