UI/UX Design Intern

About the Role

Great products are built by great designers. UI/UX is one of the few roles in tech where your portfolio speaks louder than your degree — which means a final year student with a strong case study portfolio can land an internship at a top product company. We are looking for designers who think in systems and outcomes, not just pixels. If you can articulate why you made a design decision as clearly as you can execute it in Figma, you are exactly who our partner companies are looking for.

What You Will Work On

1. Design user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity prototypes for web and mobile products
2. Conduct user research, usability testing, and competitive analysis to inform design decisions
3. Work within an established design system and contribute improvements to it
4. Collaborate closely with product managers and engineers to ensure designs are feasible and ship on time
5. Iterate on designs based on feedback from users, stakeholders, and A/B test results
6. Create motion design, micro-interactions, and visual assets where required
7. Document design decisions clearly in Figma, Notion, or Confluence

✅ Must Have

1. Studying or recently graduated in Design (NID, NIFT, MIT Institute of Design, Symbiosis, or equivalent), HCI, CS, or any related field
2. Strong proficiency in Figma — the default tool for all serious UI/UX roles in India
3. A portfolio with at least 2–3 case studies — showing problem, process, and outcome (not just pretty screens)
4. Understanding of UX principles — user research, information architecture, usability heuristics
5. Ability to communicate design rationale clearly and take feedback constructively

⭐ Nice to Have

1. Experience with user research methods — interviews, surveys, card sorting, usability testing
2. Familiarity with design systems — Google Material, Apple HIG, or custom systems
3. Basic knowledge of HTML/CSS — helps designers collaborate better with engineers
4. Motion design experience — After Effects, Principle, or Figma Smart Animate
5. Experience designing for accessibility (WCAG guidelines)
6. Contributions to real products — freelance, college club apps, NGO websites
7. Knowledge of conversion rate optimization or growth design thinking
