Graphic Design Intern - Summer '26

The Mission

Sourcerer is an autonomous supply chain platform for international trade. We handle factory sourcing, negotiation, due diligence, production management, and shipping — operating as a blind escrow marketplace that connects buyers with verified global suppliers. Our customers are businesses that need reliable, cost-effective sourcing without the overhead of managing overseas supply chains themselves.

We’re building the infrastructure layer for how goods move across borders. Design at Sourcerer means making the complex feel clear — shaping how our brand looks, how our products are presented, and how our customers experience us from first impression to final delivery.

The Role

We seek a sharp, detail-oriented design intern who can move fluidly between brand identity, digital design, packaging, and product visuals. You’ll work in Figma daily, leverage AI design tools to move fast, and create work that ships — not work that sits in a folder.

You’ll work directly with leadership. You’ll learn how an early-stage company in international trade builds a visual identity that earns trust from buyers, suppliers, and partners across borders.

What You’ll Own

Branding & Identity

• Maintaining and evolving Sourcerer’s brand system — logo usage, color, typography, tone, and visual guidelines
• Creating branded templates for decks, social posts, one-pagers, and internal documents
• Ensuring visual consistency across every customer-facing touchpoint

Digital Design

• Designing and iterating on website pages, landing pages, and product UI elements in Figma
• Creating social media graphics, ad creatives, email headers, and event materials
• Building and maintaining a component library and design system in Figma

Packaging & Product Visuals

• Designing product packaging, labels, inserts, and unboxing materials for sourced goods
• Creating mockups, spec sheets, and visual assets that support the sourcing and sales process
• Collaborating on physical product presentation — from factory sample photos to customer-ready packaging

AI-Assisted Design

• Using AI tools (Midjourney, DALL-E, Adobe Firefly, or similar) to accelerate concept generation, mood boards, and asset creation
• Developing efficient workflows that blend AI output with polished, production-ready design
• Staying current on AI design tools and bringing new capabilities to the team

First 30 Days

You’ll learn Sourcerer’s brand, products, markets, and customers. You’ll audit existing design assets and understand where the gaps are — what needs to be built, cleaned up, or standardized.

You’ll take ownership of early deliverables: refreshed templates, initial packaging concepts, social graphics, or website design updates.

By 90 Days

You’ll have shipped a visible body of work: a maintained brand system, published design assets across channels, packaging designs in production or review, and a Figma library the team actually uses.

The bar is simple — did your work make Sourcerer look sharper, more professional, and more trustworthy to the people we serve?

What You’ve Done Before

You’ve designed something real — a brand identity, packaging, a website, social campaigns, a product interface — where you had to think about who was looking at it and what impression it needed to leave. School projects count. Freelance work counts. Personal projects count.

You’re proficient in Figma. You know how to build components, use auto-layout, and hand off designs that don’t fall apart. You’ve used AI design tools and understand when they help and when they don’t.

You have experience with packaging design — understanding print specs, dielines, materials, and how a design translates from screen to physical product.

Familiarity with Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign), Canva, motion graphics, or 3D mockup tools is a plus — but not required.

What You Haven’t Done

You haven’t treated design as decoration. You don’t add gradients and drop shadows to hide weak thinking. You’re not satisfied with work that looks polished but doesn’t communicate anything.

You don’t need to be an expert in international trade or supply chains. You do need to be curious enough to learn the business, understand the audience, and design with intention.

How to Know If This Is You

You have a real answer to each of these:

• Pick a brand you think does packaging exceptionally well. What makes it work and what would you change?
• You’re handed a product with no existing brand. Walk through how you’d build the visual identity from scratch.
• Show us something you designed where you had to balance aesthetics with a clear business constraint — budget, timeline, format, or audience.

Logistics

Hybrid / flexible. This is a unpaid internship with flexible start and end dates.
