About The Position

At Idea Peddler, we see interns as the next wave of creative thinkers, and investing in them is an investment in the future of our industry. We give interns real-world experience, helping them grow through hands-on projects, mentorship, and collaboration. Their fresh ideas and perspectives challenge us to think differently, and in return, we offer the opportunity to build skills, confidence, and a network through hands-on client experience. We’re not just teaching—we’re shaping the future of creativity together. Our Fall 2026 Internship Program will run from September 1st through December 18th and is 20 hours per week. The agency is remote on Monday and Fridays and in-office on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays and we'll need you in the office at least 80% of the time (16 hrs). Our Creative Design Intern is a creative individual who is looking to develop their skills in graphic design and beyond. Someone that isn’t just a pixel pusher but is interested in developing big ideas and seeing how to make brands come to life in different mediums. A person that isn’t afraid to venture into new territories and explore every avenue of being a designer. This internship is an opportunity to understand small agency life in a way where you have more control. The position will include internal and external projects where you can work on the Idea Peddler brand and real-world clients. Throughout the internship, you will work directly with the Creative Director of Design and work collaboratively with other members of the creative team.
