A design internship where you actually get to work.
We're an interdisciplinary studio working across product, industrial, and communication design. Interns join the team from day one, contribute to real client projects, and watch ideas turn into finished products.
Areas
Choose your track, explore it all.
You'll pick a main focus, but you won't stay in your lane. Product designers here still end up in the photo studio, or sitting in on a playtest.

The process
What your internship looks like
01
Settling in
A tour of the studio, your workspace, the tools we use. You'll meet everyone and get handed your first project.
02
Collaborating
You'll work directly on client projects, with one team member as your go-to person throughout
03
Your own project
One topic, fully yours. Research, development, and a final presentation to the studio.
04
Wrapping up
Feedback on your portfolio, a reference letter, and work you'll actually want to show people.

Designers DishWhat we're looking for
What helps
Genuine curiosity about design. You want to know why things look the way they do.
Some tool experience. Rhino, Fusion, SolidWorks, Adobe CC, Figma, or Blender, depending on your track.
Something to show us. A portfolio, school projects, anything. Even unfinished work.
German or English. Either works fine in the studio.
What you don't need
A flawless portfolio. We're more interested in how you think than how tidy the layout is.
A specific field of study. Career switchers and school students are welcome. Just get in touch.
Prior experience. Your first internship is a perfectly good place to start.
Common questions
How long is an internship here?
Typically three to six months, depending on what your program requires. Shorter school placements, from two weeks, can be arranged.
Can I apply while still in school?
Yes. We just need paperwork from your school and a short chat beforehand.
What does "game design" mean at your studio?
We design tabletop games — board and card games — covering everything from mechanics to components to packaging. We don't work on video games.
Is there an application deadline?
No fixed deadline, we review applications continuously. For popular slots like the summer term, apply around three months in advance.
Can I stay on afterward?
It's happened before. A good part of our team started out as interns.
Ready to get in touch?
Just send us an email. A brief note is plenty. What matters most is seeing your work.
