Role: Motion Graphics & Design Intern
Join TUSHY on our #1 mission to change the way you go #2
Why TUSHY:
We’re cleaning butts and elevating the bathroom experience for all Real Pooping Humans. If you’re looking to join a team of taboo-breaking, passionate innovators and creatives working to revolutionize bathroom habits for a healthier, cleaner and more sustainable future, TUSHY is the place for you!
Poo-sition Overview:
TUSHY is looking for a thoughtful, conceptually driven Design Intern to join our creative team. This is an opportunity for an emerging designer who is obsessed with craft, curious about culture, and excited to create work that makes people laugh, think, click, and maybe even reconsider their relationship with toilet paper.
You’ll work closely with our designers, copywriters, marketers, and creative leadership to help bring campaigns, content, and brand moments to life across social, web, email, packaging, and beyond. We’re looking for someone who sweats the details but can also think big—someone who gets equally excited by a perfectly kerned headline and a weird campaign idea no one else would pitch
This position is currently hybrid, with the expectation to be present at least 3 days a week in our Dumbo, Brooklyn (NY) office.
