Internship Interaction Design

Ok, imagine this.
You are an aspiring interaction designer that loves making the end user happy and getting lost in details. You do so with the passion of a thousand kids screaming in front of an ice cream truck. Meanwhile you’re looking for an internship at one of the coolest digital agencies on the face of the earth. If this is you… you’re in for a treat!

We’re looking for an awesome intern with a true creative heart & soul, that wants to kick some interaction design ass in our Amsterdam and Rotterdam offices. We promise you, you won’t feel like you’re on the set of a boring office sitcom or trapped in an 80’s office supply store. Go have a look.

During this internship you will hit the ground running as if you’re the Usain Bolt of interaction design. We will give you all the attention, feedback, guidance, gifs and high fives you need to become a professional that stands out. We’ll make sure your talents reach their full potential and when you finish working with us, you’ll have heaps of experience in interaction design and working with A-list clients. And of course you’ll have a portfolio that makes you want to give yourself a standing ovation. We’ll give you one too, just to be sure.

As an interaction design intern you’ll be part of our Design Campus, which is our special training program to mold you into becoming the best of the best. It ensures that you’re not getting everyone coffee all the time or have to start an involuntary love affair with the printer.
Ain’t nobody got time for that, because you’ll be busy joining workshops, exchanging ideas with your mentor or attending trainings from the prized ponies of the industry.

Who are we? We are Dept, a young, award winning and straight up lit digital agency. We make sure big clients such as Eneco, Etos, Gazelle and the Van Gogh museum get their digital groove on in the best way possible.

To become a Depster, we are looking for talent and expertise, but also for the perfect Dept-fit. Someone who is eager to learn, inspire and get inspired, and wants to create a better (digital) world. Someone who is all about the future and isn’t afraid to speak their mind – whether that is to share design ideas or to ask who wants another beer on Friday.

- Don’t start crying or sweating when you hear terminology such as user journeys, usability, flows, responsive design, user testing and wireframes;
