At VML South Africa, we create ideas that connect brands with people in meaningful ways. Our design team brings brands to life through thoughtful visual identities, packaging and communication across a wide range of consumer and commercial touchpoints.
We’re looking for a creative and enthusiastic Design Intern with a genuine passion for brand design — particularly packaging design and visual identity. This is an opportunity to work on real-world brands and learn how strong, strategic design is developed from an initial idea through to finished execution.
As a Design Intern, you’ll support the design team across a range of branding, packaging and graphic design projects, gaining hands-on experience in the thinking and craft behind effective brand communication.
You’ll work alongside experienced designers, helping develop visual concepts, explore design directions, refine layouts and create presentations. We’re looking for someone with a solid grounding in the fundamentals of graphic design and a desire to build on that foundation.
This is less about knowing every piece of software and more about having good design instincts, curiosity, a willingness to learn and a genuine interest in how brands look, feel and behave.
