Common is seeking a talented, friendly graphic design intern to support our Design and Digital Product teams. This person loves to create beautiful user experiences—in print, on walls, and on screen. This person also takes issue with the phrase “user experience”; we design for people, not users. This is a great opportunity for a student looking to do good, multidisciplinary work at a company redefining our expectations for shared living.
About Common
Common brings home to life by creating, designing and operating all-inclusive shared homes for those who live life in common. We combine community, convenience, and flexibility to make living with others a joy instead of a chore. Headquartered in New York, Common was founded by General Assembly co-founder Brad Hargreaves in early 2015.
Common partners with real estate owners and developers throughout the US to create community-minded homes. By doing this, we’re addressing the fundamental supply and demand issues that underlie housing in major cities today. Common opened its doors to its first building in Brooklyn in October 2015.
