Description:We are seeking an Los Angeles based Graphic Design Intern to join our team!
ABOUT THE ROLE:
The Graphic Design Intern will work closely with the Brand Manager to create visual concepts and designs that are reflective of the RHODE aesthetic and elevate the brand.
ABOUT US:
We are a women’s lifestyle brand founded by long-time friends Purna Khatau and Phoebe Vickers.
Born out of a shared love affair with travel, we celebrate the wardrobe of the modern nomad. Our clothes are confident and flirtatious, playing with vibrant colors and bold patterns. We design our prints in-house and are inspired by the obvious- art, culture, history, and adventure, but also by the seemingly mundane beauty of everyday life.
Designed to transcend trends and seasons our pieces are made to love, collect and last.
We believe that magic can happen in a moment, and hope that wherever life takes someone, we are their stylish escape.
