Dive into the world of groundbreaking Design inspiration and tech innovation with DesignUp (see www.designup.io) – listed amongst “the world’s most exciting events” by Quartz.com and labelled the “definitive Design-in-Tech Event” by YourStory.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of the action, and be in the spotlight! Apply for one of the three coveted Projects for Young Designers (and non-Designers) focused on Service/System Design, Brand/Motion Design and Space/Exhibit Design.

Be in the spotlight!

DesignUp is ready to sponsor and support three final-year Design and Non-Design students, or recent grads seeking internships. Your project could even shape the foundation of your final-year thesis project. These 3-6 month projects will meet well-defined deadlines, offering a unique chance to showcase your creativity and skills, experiment, implement and shine.

Focus Areas

Apply for one of these areas:

• Service/Systems Design → you may or may not be a designer, but are passionate about orchestrating experiences in the offline world - flows, movements, outcomes and more!
• Brand/Motion Design → creating unified identities that come alive with motion is our focus. If it’s your passion, we’d love to hear from you!
• Space/Exhibit Design → creating experiences and unique, memorable spaces is another of our focus areas and if this is your area of specialisation and interest, we’d love to hear from you!

What’s in it for You?

• Tackle real-world challenges with hands-on experience.
• Blend creativity with execution in a dynamic environment.
• Benefit from cross-disciplinary collaboration.
• Receive mentorship from top leaders in Design/Product Management.
• Watch your ideas take shape and make it to the real world in a few short months.
• Expand your network, boost your confidence and maybe find new opportunities too!
• Stipends, learning and experimentation. Even though, given our not-for-profit ethos, the stipends are relatively nominal.
• An all-expenses-paid trip to the DesignUp Conference in 2024 (Oct 3-4) you’ll be expected to contribute and also see your ideas take shape!
