Internships - Design & Strategy

We are an independent European agency based in Amsterdam, part of the city's digital landscape for over 25 years. Our independence allows us the freedom to decide how we best support our clients. We work with A-brands globally and across Europe, including Nike, AB InBev, A. Vogel, Tommy Hilfiger, and ING. Our work has been recognised with awards like Global Golden Effie (2025), SAN Accents, EFFIE and Esprix.

We actively invest in our people's growth through various internal and external initiatives. While based in the Netherlands, speaking Dutch is not a requirement to join our team.

What we offer
You will be based in our beautiful (and bright) open-spaced office in Amsterdam-Overamstel. We work in a dynamic and inspiring environment in which we treat each other with respect and kindness. Our organization structure is flat and ensures open communication. In addition to a tempting package of employment conditions, career prospects, and training opportunities, we offer bootcamps, provide your lunch by our cook and have Friday drinks at our massive bar.

Hey, congratulations! You chose to pursue a career in design, and that choice has survived all the way to the internship phase. Let's take a moment to appreciate that. You have these shiny new skills, time to see what you can do with them. Are you hoping that design can take you somewhere, or do you feel the urgency to take design somewhere? From here, it will be the contribution you desire to make to design that will frame your career. That's why we're together in Assist Digital NL, connected by our craving to produce our best work.

Your first team
The environment you choose to do that will have long-reaching ramifications on your career. Too small a company, and you won't get to fully experience the complexities of working on large projects with multi-layered teams. Too big, and your contributions may go unnoticed. We have that "sweet spot" mid-size team of 60 people. Your diverse squad will consist of: Creative directors, UX Designers, Strategists, Data analysts, Front-end and Back-end Developers, and of course, Planners, Project managers and Client Account Managers.

Is it right for you?
If this is all sounding pretty good to you, then here is what we are looking for. Designers who are interested in all mediums but have a strong affiliation with digital design. You are comfortable with conceptual thinking as well as design systems. You're a sponge that wants to soak up more the mechanical aspects of getting things done and looking to develop your soft skills as well. You're not intimated by large multinational clients and excited by popular local brands.

The hard skills list

• An understanding of visual design for brand communication.

• Confident grasp of UX.

• Comprehension of design systems.

• Proficient with Sketch or Figma, Photoshop, Fireworks, Illustrator,

• Keynote/Powerpoint etc. (a few of these are pretty essential).

Visual Design

We are looking for a Visual Design Intern to join our team in the Netherlands. At Assist Digital, we help brands create better experiences by bridging the gap between high-level strategy and detailed craft.

As an intern, you will work on real client projects alongside our senior designers. You will create components, refine design systems, and ensure visual consistency across digital journeys. We value practical design decisions over decorative trends.
