Design Intern
About the job
Our mission at Chordify is to make it as easy as possible for musicians of all skill levels to learn to play their favorite music.
As a Design Intern in our Marketing team, you will help improve the visuals people see before they download the Chordify app. You’ll work on designs for the App Store and Google Play, such as screenshots, feature graphics, and other store assets. Your work will help us test what attracts new users, improve our app store presence, and support one of our most important goals: increasing downloads.
This internship is a great fit for a creative student who likes designing for real users, is curious about what makes a visual work, and enjoys improving designs based on feedback and results. You’ll work on a real assignment with visible impact.
You’ll experiment with different designs and messages, learn what performs well, and iterate from there. If you’re curious, patient, and interested in how design can influence user behaviour, you’ll probably enjoy this role.

Study Media, Design, Communication, or a related creative field
Have Design and DTP skills
Have a good eye for layout, visual hierarchy, and consistency
Enjoy working with existing brand guidelines
