Boma Design Internship
We are currently accepting portfolio submissions for a 6 month paid internship, starting month
and ending in month. In your internship, you will support the Boma team, taking direction from
the CEO and Head of Global Partnerships, outside creative agencies, and other team members
as needed. Tasks vary greatly depending on the end client and particular project. The job
requires one to be flexible and adaptable as projects arise, but it also means you won’t get
bored. Here are some things you could be working on:
● Assisting with creating design elements for Boma website
● Creating Instagram grids for social media properties
● Assisting with internal branding projects as needed
● Formatting reports, proposals, and other documents
● Contributing to brainstorms and internal meetings for new product designs
● Keeping organized files of design assets
● Helping out with administrative tasks related to the design department as needed
(getting quotes for printing, doing research, collecting inspiration examples)
● Thinking strategically to solve marketing problems, and how design fits into that solution
● Doing research and contributing to brainstorms with various team members as we work
to solve marketing problems
Over time, Boma design interns will be building up proficiency in skills that will be useful either
as a full-time designer at Boma, or in a position at another agency or in-house at a brand.
● The ability to respond to a client’s expectations
● Being able to adjust the visual tone of your design work to the project
● Taking existing assets and building on them, resulting in a stronger piece of
communication
● Being able to take minimal direction from team members and fill in the gaps by
suggesting creative solutions
● Interpreting client and colleague requests when they themselves are not designers
● Coming to the table with fresh ideas and approaches to design problems
● Working with all members of the team as needs arise, and flowing from project to project
with ease
Professional development, training, and support:
Ongoing
Boma is a face pace learning environment – a startup in every sense of the word. While it’s
important you take direction from other members of the team, you will be the one driving the
design process.
Daily/Weekly
We touch base as a team to catch up on what needs to be done that week, where people need
help, and to share any recent learnings on a daily/weekly basis.
Monthly
You will meet with the CEO monthly one-on-one to touch base on how you’re doing in your role,
where you may need more help, or other ways to maximize success. This is not a test – we want
to you to learn and grow, and to enjoy yourself in the process.
