Design Internship 2026

Jones Knowles Ritchie is a branding business, founded in 1990 and proudly independent ever since.

We started out in the world of packaging, but now we’re worldwide—from three founders, to more than 300 of us across the UK and USA. Together, we build and deliver brands across the entire consumer experience.

But even more important than what we do, is why we do it. We’re here to inspire brands and people to be their true selves. To be brave. Be tenacious. And above all, be yourself. Because we believe that’s the only way to truly be distinctive, everywhere.

For the 2026 summer design internship our doors are open to students (2nd year/sandwich year) looking for placements. We’re looking for hardworking, inspired individuals to join us in our Shoreditch office for two weeks. Here's the key info:

• Two week internship in our Shoreditch office (students must be able to be in 4 days a week)
• Internships are initially offered between June & September but we're flexible at your availability! 
• Internship is paid at London Living Wage
• 2nd year/sandwich year student applicants only

What we want to see:

• A concise portfolio of 3 projects (we're not expecting to see fully polished, ready-to-hire portfolios)
• Show us/tell us a small something about you that's not graphic design (this can be through any medium/format - be creative!)

We're really after people with a willingness to learn and get stuck in, not just the best portfolios! If you're successful after portfolio review, there'll be a short interview to get to know you before we select the final interns. 

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: 11th May at 12pm.
