Circular Design Internship
Now accepting application for interns and mentors by Friday, March 17
How might we help Hawaii’s emerging UX designers land their first job and launch successful careers?
In this partnership with Lady Bandit Studios and Alpaca VC, we aim to provide career-building opportunities that pair designers with mentors to work on projects from Alpaca VC’s 90+ startup companies over a 6-12 week design sprint. Each team will deliver implementable solutions for apps, websites, and/or products.
We know how hard it can be to find your first job in UX, especially when you don’t have the right real-world experience and connections under your belt. So this is our way of helping you get started on the right foot!
