Communications & Design Integration Lead

PROJECT GUARDIAN COMMUNICATIONS DESIGN INTEGRATION LEAD INTERN — WORKING LEADERSHIP ROLE

ABOUT MORSBY, GORMAN, MCCARTHY LLC

Morsby, Gorman, McCarthy LLC is developing Project Guardian as a multidisciplinary, project-based initiative focused on infrastructure planning, implementation readiness, policy research, partnership development, evidence management, risk analysis, communications, and program coordination.

Project Guardian’s initial work centers on a proposed Kenya-focused infrastructure pilot. Participants will contribute to research, planning, analysis, documentation, visual communication, and professional-quality project materials intended to help clarify the pilot’s feasibility, evidentiary foundation, funding requirements, implementation conditions, and potential pathways toward responsible replication or expansion.

Participation does not represent employment by, appointment to, or endorsement from any government, university, funder, development institution, community, or prospective partner. Project Guardian is an independent initiative of Morsby, Gorman, McCarthy LLC unless a separate written agreement states otherwise.

PROGRAM TERMS

• Program dates: October 19, 2026–January 29, 2027
• Holiday pause: December 19, 2026–January 3, 2027, during which no routine work is expected
• Fully remote and asynchronous-first
• Normally 5–10 hours per week
• Work exceeding 10 hours in a week requires advance written approval
• Participants should not ordinarily exceed approximately 15 hours in any week
• Unpaid educational internship
• Academic credit may be available only when approved by the participant’s institution

EDUCATIONAL STRUCTURE

This is a structured, project-based learning experience. Participants receive defined learning objectives, supervised assignments, written or documented feedback, revision opportunities, and exposure to multidisciplinary infrastructure, public policy, research, communications, visual design, information design, editorial coordination, and program-management work.

Assignments are designed to develop transferable professional competencies through applied work of educational value. Participants may produce portfolio-appropriate materials, excerpts, or descriptions subject to confidentiality, intellectual-property, attribution, image-rights, data-protection, and release requirements.

Inclusion of any project material, visual concept, graphic, layout, template, photograph, illustration, dashboard, presentation, screenshot, or deliverable in a portfolio requires prior written authorization. Where authorization is granted, the participant may be required to use a redacted, watermarked, excerpted, or otherwise modified version and accurately identify their individual contribution.

Academic credit may be available only when approved by the participant’s institution. Participants are responsible for initiating and satisfying their institution’s credit-approval process. Morsby, Gorman, McCarthy LLC will reasonably cooperate with legitimate institutional documentation, learning-agreement, supervision, evaluation, and verification requirements when provided with sufficient notice.

Academic credit is not guaranteed and is not required for participation. The availability, amount, classification, and conditions of credit are determined solely by the participant’s institution.

The internship is intended to complement academic study and professional development. Participants will not displace regular employees or independently perform functions requiring licensed legal, engineering, financial, regulatory, accessibility-certification, public-relations, or other specialized professional judgment.

ROLE PURPOSE

The Communications and Design Integration Lead helps translate Project Guardian’s multidisciplinary research, planning, evidence, risk, funding, and implementation materials into clear, coherent, accurate, accessible, and visually consistent communications.

The role’s central educational objective is to help the participant learn how substantive information can be communicated to different audiences without sacrificing accuracy, context, uncertainty, appropriate attribution, or respect for affected stakeholders.

The Lead will support integration across written and visual materials, including presentations, diagrams, executive summaries, briefs, templates, information graphics, program documents, and other approved internal or external-facing materials.

The Lead will help establish a consistent visual and editorial system while ensuring that design choices do not exaggerate readiness, certainty, evidence, institutional relationships, funding status, geographic precision, community support, or expected outcomes.

This role involves more than making materials visually attractive. The participant will be expected to understand the underlying purpose, audience, evidence, limitations, and approval status of each communication before determining its structure or design.

This is a working leadership internship. The selected participant will coordinate assigned communications and design contributors while personally producing substantive layouts, visual concepts, communication plans, presentation materials, editorial integrations, design guidance, and written or visual work.

The leadership component is educational and project-based. It does not confer authority to employ, discipline, contract with, publish on behalf of, or make commitments for other participants, the company, the project, or any prospective stakeholder.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

By the conclusion of the internship, the participant should be able to:

• Translate complex infrastructure, policy, research, funding, risk, and program-management information into clear audience-appropriate communications
• Develop a coherent visual and editorial system for a multidisciplinary initiative
• Distinguish factual communication, interpretation, preliminary analysis, estimates, scenarios, aspirations, and promotional language
• Select appropriate formats for internal, academic, technical, funder, partner, and public-facing audiences
• Develop clear information hierarchies for presentations, briefs, reports, diagrams, and visual summaries
• Apply basic principles of typography, layout, color, hierarchy, alignment, consistency, and information design
• Integrate written, quantitative, geographic, and visual information without distorting its meaning
• Design charts, diagrams, maps, or information graphics that preserve material qualifications and source context
• Apply accessibility-minded practices to color, contrast, type size, reading order, alternative text, captions, and document structure
• Recognize intellectual-property, licensing, attribution, privacy, consent, and image-rights concerns
• Apply responsible practices when representing Kenya, its institutions, communities, geography, infrastructure, and stakeholders
• Develop review and approval workflows that distinguish working drafts from approved and externally releasable materials
• Coordinate multidisciplinary contributors through clear assignments, feedback, revision, attribution, and handoff practices
• Recognize when legal, technical, statistical, geographic, accessibility, cultural, or communications questions require specialized review
