Graphic Design Intern

The Data Duck | Mumbai (Hybrid) | 3-month Internship Want to learn design the way it actually happens — under real deadlines, on real client work? The Data Duck is a strategy, design, and AI consultancy based in Mumbai, working with founders and brands across financial services, B2B, infra, and consumer sectors. We're looking for a Graphic Design Intern who's hungry to learn, quick with feedback, and excited to get hands-on from day one — not fetch coffee and watch from the sidelines. This is a real seat on the design team for 3 months. You'll work on actual client deliverables, sit in on briefings, and see how a piece of design goes from a founder's half-formed idea to something that ships. What you'll be doing: Supporting the design team on live client projects — decks, social creative, brand assets, and marketing collateral Taking first passes at design briefs and iterating based on feedback from senior designers Helping maintain brand consistency across client style guides and templates Assisting with formatting and polishing presentations and documents to a client-ready standard Doing research — trends, references, competitor visuals — to support the team's creative process Picking up the practical, unglamorous parts of studio life: file organization, version control, asset libraries — the stuff that makes a design team actually run smoothly What we're looking for: Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree/diploma in graphic design, visual communication, fine arts, or a related field A portfolio or coursework samples that show design thinking, not just software skills Working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop) and/or Figma A good eye, a willingness to be told your first draft isn't the final draft, and curiosity about how brands and businesses actually work Based in or able to commute to Mumbai for the hybrid schedule Why intern with us: You won't be doing busywork. You'll be in the room for real client conversations, get direct mentorship from working designers, and walk away with actual shipped work for your portfolio — not a folder of hypothetical projects. Strong interns are the first people we look at when full-time design roles open up. How to apply: Send your CV and portfolio (college projects count!) to with the subject line "Graphic Design Intern." A one-line note on why design is your thing goes a long way.
