About The Position

UDig's 2027 Summer Internship Program offers students the opportunity to gain real-world experience at a people-first technology consulting firm.

The program provides competitive compensation and is designed as a launchpad for a design career in consulting.

Requirements

Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Human-Computer Interaction, Interaction Design, Graphic or Visual Design, UX Research, Service Design, or a related design field
A portfolio — coursework, personal, or professional — that shows your user-centered design process, not just finished screens.
Working knowledge of Figma (or a comparable design tool) and core UI/UX principles, including information architecture, responsive design, and accessibility.
A strong passion for technology consulting and a proactive, ownership-oriented mindset.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the enthusiasm to ask questions and learn rapidly.
Ability to work full-time for the duration of the 8-week summer program (6/7-7/30) in a hybrid model based out of one of our hub locations (Nashville or Richmond).

Responsibilities

Contribute to live client design work — wireframes, user flows, interactive prototypes, and high-fidelity mockups.
Support user research and usability testing: help prepare sessions, synthesize findings, and turn what you learn into data-backed design recommendations.
Partner with engineers to make designs buildable and help extend and maintain design systems and component libraries.
Present design rationale to project teams and client stakeholders, and iterate quickly on the feedback you receive.
Dedicate time to research emerging technologies and best practices relevant to your project, applying your academic knowledge in a professional setting.
