From immersive brand experiences and interactive technology to sports venues, museums, corporate environments and destinations, we bring big ideas to life-all under one roof at our Kansas City headquarters.\nABOUT OUR SUMMER INTERNSHIP\nAt DI, an internship isn't about sitting on the sidelines.\nOur summer interns become part of the team and have the opportunity to contribute to real client projects alongside professionals in their field. You'll see how ideas move from concept to design, development, fabrication and installation-and how different disciplines come together to create something remarkable.\nThroughout the summer, you'll build practical skills, learn from experienced mentors, make connections across DI and leave with meaningful experience you can take back to school and into your career.\nYou'll work hard, learn a lot and have some fun along the way.\nDESIGN INTERN SUMMARY\nAs a Designer Intern, you're part of the team from Day 1.\nYou'll join DI's creative studio and have the opportunity to contribute to real client projectsacross industries like professional and collegiate sports, corporate, healthcare, cultural and museum environments, and entertainment.\nYou'll work alongside experienced designers as ideas take shape-helping develop concepts, explore creative solutions and communicate design intent to clients and the teams responsible for bringing those ideas to life.\nThis isn't an internship where you'll spend the summer working on hypothetical assignments. You'll get exposure to the realities of professional design while contributing your ideas and skills to work that's actually moving through DI.\nWhat You May Work On\nContribute to real client projects across DI's diverse markets and project types\nDevelop concepts and creative solutions through hand sketching, digital rendering and illustration\nParticipate in multiple stages of the design process, including Conceptual Design, Schematic Design, Design Development and Construction Documentation\nHelp create presentations, drawings and other materials used to communicate ideas and design intent to clients\nIncorporate direction and feedback from Creative Directors, Project Leads and other members of the project team\nCollaborate with designers and other disciplines to refine concepts and solve creative challenges\nParticipate in project meetings, critiques and design reviews\nSupport studio team members as projects move from early ideas toward finished experiences\nSee how design decisions ultimately translate into fabricated and installed environments\nWHAT YOU’LL LEARN\nBy the end of the summer, you'll have greater exposure to:\nDesigning for real clients, spaces and project requirements\nDeveloping ideas from early concepts into more detailed design solutions\nCommunicating ideas through sketches, renderings, illustrations, presentations and documentation\nReceiving, interpreting and applying professional creative feedback\nPresenting design intent clearly to clients and internal project teams\nDesigning across different industries, audiences and types of environments\nBalancing creativity with project goals, budgets, timelines and real-world constraints\nCollaborating with designers, engineers, developers, project managers and fabricators\nUnderstanding how a professional creative studio approaches client work\nSeeing how an idea progresses from concept through design, fabrication and installation\nWHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR\nYou don't need to have professional client experience yet-that's why you're here. We're looking for students who are creative, curious and excited to turn ideas into experiences.\nYou'll be most successful if you bring:\nStrong conceptual thinking and an ability to communicate ideas visually\nExperience with hand sketching, digital rendering, illustration or other design visualization techniques\nFamiliarity with design software and tools relevant to your area of study\nAn interest in experiential, environmental, spatial or multidisciplinary design\nA willingness to explore ideas, take creative risks and iterate based on feedback\nStrong problem-solving skills and curiosity about how things are designed and built\nA collaborative mindset and interest in working across disciplines\nThe ability to adapt and \"go where needed\" in a fast-moving creative environment\nComfort trying something new, learning from what doesn't work and trying again\nStrong communication, organization and attention to detail\nStudents pursuing Industrial Design, Graphic Design, Interior Design, Architectureor a related field are encouraged to apply.\nWHY YOU’LL LOVE DI\nReal work.You'll have opportunities to contribute to actual client projects-not just hypothetical intern assignments.\nBuild your portfolio while building your experience.You'll work on professional projects across a range of industries and gain a better understanding of what it takes to turn a creative idea into a real-world experience.\nDesign beyond the screen.At DI, you'll have the opportunity to see concepts move from sketches and renderings into physical spaces, objects and experiences.\nA lot to explore.
