UNC Charlotte Dining Services is looking for a Graphic Design Intern to support marketing and brand execution across campus dining locations. This role is ideal for a proactive, growth-minded designer who wants real-world experience, fast-paced projects, and a strong portfolio coming out of it.
This is not a passive role. You’ll be designing assets that students actually see, use, and engage with.
What You’ll Do
- Design marketing and promotional materials including social media graphics, posters, menus, digital signage, stickers, banners, t-shirts, and event collateral
- Support marketing campaigns from concept to execution
- Assist with on-campus events as needed to help ensure branding is executed correctly (some evening or weekend work may be required)
- Collaborate with the marketing team to maintain brand consistency across platforms
- Incorporate feedback efficiently and apply revisions quickly
- Organize and maintain creative assets and files
- Occasionally assist with photography for events, food features, or marketing content (preferred skill)
What We’re Looking For
- Basic working knowledge of Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign
- Strong understanding of design fundamentals including typography, color, layout, and hierarchy
- Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple deadlines
- Detail-oriented with strong communication skills
- Self-driven, proactive, and comfortable taking ownership of projects
- Open to feedback and able to apply critique constructively
- Willingness to support events when required
Bonus (Not Required, But a Plus)
- Photography experience
- Experience designing for social media or digital platforms
- Interest in branding, marketing, or creative strategy
Why This Role
- Hands-on experience with real campaigns, not mock projects
- Portfolio-building work across digital, print, and experiential marketing
- Exposure to a high-visibility campus brand and cross-functional collaboration
- Opportunity to grow creatively and professionally in a structured marketing environment
