Brand Design Intern (Summer 2027)

Figma is growing our team of passionate creatives and builders on a mission to make design accessible to all. Figma’s platform helps teams bring ideas to life—whether you're brainstorming, creating a prototype, translating designs into code, or iterating with AI. From idea to product, Figma empowers teams to streamline workflows, move faster, and work together in real time from anywhere in the world. If you're excited to shape the future of design and collaboration, join us!

Figma’s Brand Studio owns and drives creative initiatives across the company—from campaigns and launches to brand storytelling and visual identity. As a Brand Design Intern, you’ll get hands-on experience inside that team, contributing real work to real brand moments while learning how craft, systems, and storytelling come together at scale. You’ll partner closely with the Brand Studio team, and get exposure to cross-functional partners along the way. This is a chance to build foundational skills in a professional creative environment, grow your point of view, and leave with a stronger portfolio and a clearer sense of what a career in brand design looks like.

This internship will be based out of our San Francisco Hub with a June 1, 2027 OR June 14, 2027 start date. Applications must be submitted by Friday, October 2nd, 2026 at 5:00pm PT to be considered.

What you’ll do at Figma:

Support the creation of visually engaging brand work across campaigns, launches, and storytelling moments
Assist in exploring visual directions for the Figma brand through image-making, typography, and composition, with guidance from senior designers
Contribute concepts and drafts that are refined through feedback and mentorship from the team
Help execute scalable visual systems and toolkits under the direction of the team
Collaborate with Brand Studio partners and gain exposure to cross-functional partners
Research and share new creative references, tools, and techniques, including AI-powered workflows
Practice bringing craft and intentionality to work, from early explorations through to final files
Present work-in-progress and finished work to the team, and incorporate feedback into revisions

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

A portfolio (school projects, personal work, or previous internships) that shows visual curiosity and a developing sense of craft across image-making, composition, typography, and color
Working proficiency in Figma
Strong visual communication skills and comfort sharing early, unpolished work for feedback
