Summer Internships

Interior Design | Urban Design & Planning | Landscape Architecture | Architecture  

Mithun is eager to hear from interior design, urban design & planning, landscape architecture and architecture students who thrive in an interdisciplinary environment and want to spend the summer designing for positive change. Our 10-week summer internship offers hands-on experience working on real projects alongside designers across disciplines, offices and scales.

A JUST organization since 2017, Mithun’s goal is not just good intentions but real impact for the people, communities and clients we serve. 

About the Summer Internship

Our summer internships will empower designers with relationships, insights, skills and an elevated ability to create positive change in the world. Summer interns gain broad exposure to our practice, projects and people across offices and disciplines. Weekly interactive discussions are focused on various practice areas such as marketing, project management, quality assurance, technical design, digital design and R+D to allow for a comprehensive understanding of an integrated design firm. 

Each summer intern is intentionally connected to a variety of people to gain unique and relevant perspectives and professional knowledge. Project opportunities are aligned with individual interests and skills to allow for continuous project engagement, design dialogue and learning opportunities throughout the session. Summer interns are also provided with opportunities to engage with firms nationwide, such as Lake Flato, Waggonner & Ball, CO-OP, Payette and Shepley Bulfinch, strengthening connections and awareness of the larger design community.
