Graphic Design Intern

VMM Collective is looking for a Graphic Design Intern to join our growing team in Kochi.
We are a strategy-led branding and design studio working with ambitious businesses across D2C, hospitality, wellness, startups and legacy brands. We bring strategy, storytelling and visual design together to create brands that are clear, distinctive and built to connect.
This isn't an internship where you'll spend six months resizing social media posts.
You'll work on real brands, real briefs and real design problems.
What you'll do
As a Graphic Design Intern, you'll contribute to projects across:
Brand identity and visual systems
Packaging design
Digital and social media design
Presentations and pitch decks
Concepts and creative exploration
Print and marketing collateral
Illustration and visual storytelling
Design adaptations and brand rollouts
You'll work closely with the Founder and Creative Director, gaining exposure to both the creative and strategic sides of branding.
You'll see how a client brief becomes a question, how that question becomes a strategy, and how that strategy becomes a visual system.
What we're looking for
We're looking for someone with a strong foundation in graphic design and, more importantly, a genuine curiosity about design.
You should:
Have a good understanding of typography, composition, colour and visual hierarchy
Be comfortable using Adobe Creative Suite
Have a portfolio that demonstrates your thinking and creative ability
Have a strong eye for detail
Be curious about brands, culture and visual communication
Be willing to experiment and explore different ideas
Be comfortable receiving feedback and iterating on your work
Be able to explain the thinking behind your design decisions
You don't need to know everything.
We care more about how you think, how you observe and how quickly you learn.
What you'll get
Hands-on experience with real client projects
Exposure to brand strategy and design thinking
Experience across different industries and project types
The opportunity to build work for your portfolio
A collaborative studio environment
The possibility of a full-time role at VMM Collective after the internship
Internship Details
Duration: 6 months
Location: Kochi, Kerala
Type: Full-time internship
Conversion: Possibility of full-time employment based on performance and mutual fit
Who can apply: Final-year students, recent graduates and early-career designers are welcome.
How to apply
Send us your CV and portfolio through LinkedIn or to hello@vmmcollective.com.
We'd especially like to see projects that demonstrate how you think, not just a collection of finished visuals.
