Intern, Product Designer – About this role

We're looking for a curious, craft-driven Product Designer Co-op to join our growing design team. You'll work alongside product managers, engineers, and researchers to shape experiences that real users depend on every day. This isn't a "make coffee and watch" kind of role — you'll own meaningful work from day one and have a direct impact on our product.

Your primary responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Contribute to the full design process, from early discovery through polished, production-ready UI.
• Conduct and synthesize user research — interviews, usability tests, and competitive analysis — to inform design decisions.
• Create wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity mockups that clearly communicate interactions and visual intent.
• Collaborate closely with product managers to align on goals and engineers to ensure feasibility and quality implementation.
• Present your work to cross-functional stakeholders and incorporate feedback iteratively.
• Help maintain and evolve our design system, ensuring consistency across the product.
• Participate in design critiques and contribute to a culture of craft and feedback.

Experience, skills, and requirements:

• Currently enrolled in a degree program in Interaction Design, UX Design, HCI, Graphic Design, or a related field.
• A portfolio demonstrating strong visual design sensibility and thoughtful UX problem-solving (class and personal projects welcome).
• Hands-on experience with Figma, including components, auto layout, and prototyping.
• Comfort with ambiguity — you can define a problem, not just solve one handed to you.
• Strong communication skills; you can explain your design rationale clearly to non-designers.
• Genuine curiosity about users and a habit of questioning assumptions.
• Bonus: experience with user research methods, motion design, or design systems.

What you can expect:

• Meaningful ownership of real product work — not just supporting tasks.
• A dedicated design mentor and regular 1:1s to support your growth.
• Exposure to the full product development lifecycle at a fast-moving startup.
• A collaborative, feedback-rich environment where your ideas are taken seriously.

Our culture is built on 5 core values: Energy, Excellence, Evolution, Equality and Empathy. We believe that our success is dependent on the diverse talents, skills, and ideas of its staff. We are committed to creating an inclusive work environment and encourage applications from all qualified candidates including those in the BIPOC and LGTBQ communities, and from people with disabilities.

We thank you for your interest in Dig Insights, however, only candidates who are chosen for an interview will be contacted.
