Design Graduate Intern

Job description

You might think of Nike as a sport and fitness brand — and we are. But at our core, Nike is a design company. We do the math and the art, the research and the refining, the conception and the crafting — everything that goes into creating great design for an entire world of sport.

Individually, we are hundreds of creatives, from diverse experiences and design disciplines, creating the products, communication and experiences you see every day.

Together, we are a world-class design community like no other, open to innovative ideas and to those willing to expand the conversation—or start a new one.

Wonder if you're one of them?

We do too.

As a Nike Design Intern, you'll create or refresh existing designs that reflect Nike's design philosophy and inspire targeted consumers. You will execute design projects with the intent that they will go to market. You'll have the opportunity to research consumer/athlete and market needs based on a design brief. You also work on an individual design project that will culminate in a Design Gallery Show, and a cross-functional project that will be presented to Nike Executive Leadership at the end of the program.

We offer Design Internships in the following areas:

· Product/ Footwear Design
· Apparel Design
· Graphic Design
· Communication Design
· Color Design
· Retail Design
· Material Design
· Digital Design
