Introduction

Welcome! 💜

Stupid Studio is a certified B Corp, and we firmly believe in the transformative power of design and using business as a force for good. During your internship with us, we hope you’ll get a feel for our design approach, which is about much more than just looks – it’s about making a positive difference for the three Cs: communities, culture and children.

Commitment and growth
If our internship methodology seems a little rigorous, don’t fret! It's just that in our experience, a solid foundation is key to a great learning journey for both you and our team. Trust, empathy, and commitment are at the heart of everything we do to help you grow.

Why us?
At Stupid Studio, we're not just offering an internship; we're offering an opportunity to be a part of a vibrant, creative, and supportive team. You'll be a valued member of our studio, contributing to innovative projects and learning from the best in the industry.

01 – Work Buddy
This buddy will help you out with work tasks, projects, and technical aspects of the internship.

This buddy will help you settle in, answer everyday questions, and offer friendly support around the workplace.

Ownership of learning
Together we set clear goals for your internship, and empower you to take charge of your own learning and growth.
