Design Museum Boston is seeking a 2D Design Intern to join our team this summer and assist us in designing and producing graphic assets for print and web to be used in public exhibitions, marketing, and outreach programs. Design Museum Boston is a distributed museum, meaning we don’t have a single physical location — we put exhibitions in places where people already go, places like city hall, the mall, the airport, public parks, and online. Our exhibitions and marketing materials need to be clear, educational, and fun for our audience. The 2D Design Intern will tackle challenges at multiple levels that are specific to Design Museum Boston’s unique approach to delivering educational content.

  • Develop concepts and graphic assets for the designmuseumboston.org redesign

  • Assist in the creation of graphic assets for existing Design Museum Programs as needed
  • Have their own computer capable of complex tasks
  • Be creating web based graphics and newsletter designs

We’re looking for someone who:

  • Is a self-starter, able to pick up parts of a project and contribute
  • Is a collaborator, able to fit into a team and boost its effectiveness
  • Is adaptable, able to pivot and move forward with new constraints
  • Is a planner, able to anticipate needs and put detailed plans in place for the future
