We’re looking for a Graphic Design Intern to join us in bringing heartfelt, mission-centered creative work to life. This role is for someone who cares deeply about meaningful design, pays attention to detail, and feels inspired by the visual world we’ve built at The Burger Family Foundation.

This internship works directly under Honest Stories Co. (Larsyn Brown), Creative Director of the Foundation, while contributing to design needs across our growing charitable organization.

What We’re Looking For

Someone who naturally aligns with our aesthetic
You should feel inspired by—and confident in executing—the Foundation’s visual direction. If you aren’t familiar yet, please explore our website and Instagram to get a sense of our tone, color palette, typography, and storytelling approach.

FOUNDATIONAL DESIGN SKILLS

• Solid working knowledge of Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator

• Adobe InDesign experience is a plus

• Understanding of core graphic design principles—alignment, balance, contrast, hierarchy, proportion, and repetition

• Working knowledge of common design file types, including when and how to use JPG, PNG, SVG, PDF, EPS, layered PSD/AI files, and print-ready formats (bleeds, CMYK, high-resolution exports, vector vs. raster, etc.)

FLEXIBILITY & WILLINGNESS TO LEARN
We are a startup charity, which means needs shift, timelines move fast, and design often evolves as projects come to life. Adaptability is essential.

A PASSION FOR MAKING AN IMPACT
Design is one of the strongest tools we have to share stories, raise awareness, and support families navigating Down syndrome. We’re looking for someone who cares about using their creativity for good.
