Part-Time Creative Marketing & Graphic Design Intern

Houston Ballet • Houston, TX

About The Position

Houston Ballet's marketing team is hiring a paid intern to help create the visual and digital content that reaches our audiences: social media, print and digital campaigns, video, email, and more. This is a working role, not an observational one. You'll contribute to real projects that go out to the public, with guidance from our in-house creative and marketing staff. This is a part-time, paid position ($15 per hour) and we are located in downtown Houston, TX. We're looking for a recent graduate or graduating senior who has a strong visual sense, works hard, and wants to build a genuine portfolio through meaningful work for a major arts organization.

Requirements

• A portfolio that demonstrates real design skill, whether in social content, video, photography, or branding
• Solid understanding of typography, layout, and color
• Comfort with Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro); After Effects experience is a plus
• Familiarity with Canva, Figma, or similar tools
• Ability to manage multiple projects at once without sacrificing quality
• Curiosity about new tools and formats, along with an interest in how technology can support creative work
• Initiative, attention to detail, and a willingness to take feedback and revise your work
• Currently studying or recently graduated in graphic design, digital media, advertising, marketing, communications, visual arts, film, or a related field. Note a strong portfolio can outweigh an unrelated major!
