Internships? Not At This Time…
We are often asked whether we offer internships, shadowing opportunities, or interview opportunities for student designers. Here are the answers to most of the questions.
Do you offer paid graphic design internships?
No, not at this time. But if you meet the guidelines below, we will review your application carefully and, depending on our limited capacity, may reconsider.
If we are actively looking for interns, you will see posts about it on our Instagram or LinkedIn accounts.
Application Guidelines:
• Must be a college-level rising senior or in senior year. If you are self-taught, we’ll be looking for a similar level of experience and portfolio work. You must be over the age of 18.
• We only consider graphic/brand design internships. We are not taking on any copywriting or project management interns.
• Internships are part-time, paid hourly, lasting 6 – 12 weeks, depending on your skillset and our schedule.
To apply, you must submit a portfolio of your work, a cover letter, and a résumé. – jobs@atlasbranding.com. You can address your email to Lisa Peteet, our creative director.
When should I apply for internships?
A good rule of thumb is to apply 3 months before the internship starts. You will need time to make accommodations and arrangements if you are given the internship.
Summer Internships – Apply in March
Fall Internships – Apply in June
Spring Internships – Apply in October
Can I interview you for my school assignment?
Our website is full of information you may find helpful for your report, so we encourage you to look around before sending us an email, as you might find your questions answered. It’s very time-consuming to respond thoughtfully and give each question the attention it deserves. If, after looking through our site, you still have a crucial question, then email us and we’ll try to respond if our schedule permits – atlas@atlasbranding.com.
If you’re looking for any details about our story of how we got started, you’re welcome to listen our podcast interview with Making it in Asheville.
Will you speak to my design class or at my college?
Yes, we’d love to if our schedule permits! You or your professor are welcome to reach out to us:
