One week in the life of a design intern

Have you always been curious about what the life of a web design intern looks like with us? Spoiler alert: it's creative, educational, and never boring! Read on and maybe you'll soon be part of the Flabbergasted team 🤗!

At Flabbergasted, we believe that you learn the most by actually doing! That's why, as an intern, you don't dive into boring practice assignments, but you participate in real projects. How does that work then?

Every week, we kick off with a short but powerful team meeting: the stand-up! ☕️ Here, ideas fly around the table, discuss ongoing projects and distribute the tasks that still need to be tackled. As an intern, you get everything on your plate, from sketching wireframes to making next-level designs. You often work on shadow projects, so you can experiment and discover your own creative flow.

For the rest of the week, you can find your tasks in your agenda 📅. Maybe you're building a tasteful homepage for a hip hospitality customer, or giving an investment website a mobile-friendly makeover. With Figma as your biggest friend, you can transform raw ideas into sleek designs.

Once a week, it is time to have extensive discussions with the website team. Here, you'll show off your work, get valuable feedback, and discover how to make your designs even stronger 💪🏼. Maybe the buttons need to be a little clearer, or there's a smarter way to position content. This is where you really grow as a designer! In addition, your supervisor is of course there for you at any time to help you take your design skills to the next level.

At the end of a day, it's important to look back on your to-do's of the day and reflect on whether everything worked out. No stress! Every day is a new day to learn, so you can continue with your creative learning process the next day 🧠!
