DI - HQ

At Dimensional Innovations (DI), we’re Designers, Makers, Engineers, Developers, Strategists and Innovators working together to create remarkable experiences, places and products.

Our work lives at the intersection of design, technology and fabrication. From immersive brand experiences and interactive technology to sports venues, museums, corporate environments and destinations, we bring big ideas to life—all under one roof at our Kansas City headquarters.

At DI, an internship isn't about sitting on the sidelines.

Our summer interns become part of the team and have the opportunity to contribute to real client projects alongside professionals in their field. You'll see how ideas move from concept to design, development, fabrication and installation—and how different disciplines come together to create something remarkable.

Throughout the summer, you'll build practical skills, learn from experienced mentors, make connections across DI and leave with meaningful experience you can take back to school and into your career.

You’ll work hard, learn a lot and have some fun along the way.

As a Designer Intern, you're part of the team from Day 1.

You’ll join DI's creative studio and have the opportunity to contribute to real client projects across industries like professional and collegiate sports, corporate, healthcare, cultural and museum environments, and entertainment.

You’ll work alongside experienced designers as ideas take shape—helping develop concepts, explore creative solutions and communicate design intent to clients and the teams responsible for bringing those ideas to life.

This isn't an internship where you'll spend the summer working on hypothetical assignments. You'll get exposure to the realities of professional design while contributing your ideas and skills to work that's actually moving through DI.

• Develop concepts and creative solutions through hand sketching, digital rendering and illustration
• Participate in multiple stages of the design process, including Conceptual Design, Schematic Design, Design Development and Construction Documentation

• Collaborate with designers and other disciplines to refine concepts and solve creative challenges
• Participate in project meetings, critiques and design reviews
• Support studio team members as projects move from early ideas toward finished experiences

• Designing for real clients, spaces and project requirements
• Developing ideas from early concepts into more detailed design solutions
• Communicating ideas through sketches, renderings, illustrations, presentations and documentation
• Receiving, interpreting and applying professional creative feedback
• Presenting design intent clearly to clients and internal project teams

• Balancing creativity with project goals, budgets, timelines and real-world constraints
• Collaborating with designers, engineers, developers, project managers and fabricators
• Understanding how a professional creative studio approaches client work
• Seeing how an idea progresses from concept through design, fabrication and installation
