About this Role
We’re looking for a design intern who can help translate complex ideas into simple, compelling visuals. This isn’t just about making things look good - it’s about making them clear, thoughtful, and memorable.
You’ll work directly on founder-facing and investor-facing materials - so your work will be seen, used, and discussed.
What will you do?
- Design pitch decks, reports, and presentations (a core part of the role), with a focus on clarity and structure
- Create visual assets for web, social, and communication materials
- Help build and refine the fund’s visual language - typography, layouts, and design systems
- Develop clean, minimal layouts that balance form and function
- Translate rough ideas or text into structured, high-quality visual outputs
- Work on long-form content (reports, insights, decks), ensuring alignment with both brand intent and business context
- Iterate quickly based on feedback while maintaining quality and consistency
Who are we looking for in this role?
- Strong fundamentals in layout, typography, and visual hierarchy
- Comfortable with Figma and/or Adobe tools
- Ability to simplify, not over-design
- Good aesthetic judgment (modern, minimal, not “template-heavy”)
- Attention to detail and willingness to refine work
- A portfolio that shows thinking, not just decoration
- Experience with motion graphics or simple animations
- Interest in storytelling through design
