Design Intern - Hospitality-Tech Innovation

About the Role

Dorsia is seeking a Design Intern to support our innovative hospitality-tech initiatives. This Design Intern remote position is ideal for someone passionate about design and eager to contribute to product and brand design initiatives across mobile, web, and marketing surfaces during Summer 2026. As a fast-growing startup, we are redefining how the world gains access to exclusive dining experiences, and your role will be pivotal in shaping how our members and partners experience Dorsia.

What You'll Do

• Contribute to product design across mobile and web surfaces, supporting feature launches and UX improvements that affect the core member experience.
• Rapidly prototype new features and flows in Figma, Framer, or lightweight front-end tools (React/HTML/CSS) to surface testable concepts quickly.
• Build interactive demos and "vibe coding" experiments for internal review and early user feedback.
• Create high-fidelity UI mockups and micro-interaction concepts that reflect Dorsia's premium positioning.
• Assist in evolving and maintaining Dorsia's design system — components, tokens, and motion principles.
• Ensure visual consistency across product and brand touchpoints, applying Dorsia's identity with taste and precision.
• Conduct competitive research and synthesize insights into fast design iterations.
• Develop marketing and launch assets across social, email, landing pages, and campaign visuals.

Requirements

• Pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, Human-Computer Interaction, Computer Science, or a related field (rising junior/senior preferred).
• Strong visual design fundamentals — typography, spacing, hierarchy, color systems — with a portfolio that demonstrates range across product and/or brand contexts.
• Proficiency in Figma, including components, auto-layout, and prototyping.
• Comfort with interactive tooling — basic HTML/CSS/React is a meaningful plus; familiarity with Framer or similar prototyping environments is welcome.
• Genuine interest in vibe coding and building scrappy live prototypes to test ideas quickly.
• Solid understanding of UX principles and mobile-first product thinking.
• Strong taste level aligned with premium and luxury brands.
• Ability to move from concept to prototype to iteration without losing quality along the way.

Nice to Have

• Portfolio with product design, interaction design, or brand work demonstrating visual discipline and range.
• Experience building or contributing to a design system.
• Familiarity with motion design or micro-interaction principles.
• Exposure to design research, usability testing, or UX writing.

What We Offer

• Competitive internship compensation.
• Opportunity to work in a fast-paced startup environment.
• Gain hands-on experience in hospitality-tech innovation.
• Collaborate with a talented team of designers and engineers.
• Flexible work hours to accommodate your lifestyle.
