Design Intern

Innovate. Learn. Impact. Launch Your Career at UDig. 

At UDig, we believe in real-world experience from day one. Our 2027 Summer Internship Program is your chance to move beyond the classroom and join a people-first technology consulting firm where your design work reaches real users on live client engagements. This is more than an internship – it’s the launchpad for your design career in consulting. 

Here’s why students launch their careers with UDig: 

• Real Client Engagement – A core component of your internship is contributing to a real client engagement, providing highly valuable, hands-on consulting experience. 
• Mentorship & Coaching – Partner with Senior Consultants and design leaders who are dedicated to your success, offering guidance, design critique, and career insights. 
• Culture & Collaboration – Join a high-caliber, flexible team with opportunities for in-person collaboration, networking events, and an environment that champions work/life balance. 
• Competitive Compensation – Receive a competitive hourly wage for your contributions. 

What You’ll Do: 

• 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. 

What You’ll Bring: 

• 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).
