Resume + Portfolio (featuring class, freelance, personal, or student work preferred)

The Graphic Design Intern will gain hands-on experience creating marketing materials for a diverse portfolio of hotels, restaurants, entertainment venues, and event spaces. Working closely with OHM's Graphic Designer and Director of Marketing & eCommerce, you'll take what you've learned in the classroom and apply it to real-world projects.

This is an entry-level learning opportunity for a college student who has a foundation in graphic design and is ready to grow through hands-on experience. You do not need years of professional experience. We're looking for someone who understands the basics of design, is familiar with professional design software, and is eager to learn how those skills translate into real marketing and production work.

The right person is curious, dependable, detail-oriented, receptive to feedback, and comfortable taking direction. You should be willing to ask questions when you're unsure, learn from mistakes, and make thoughtful revisions based on feedback.

Gain hands-on experience creating work for real hospitality, restaurant, entertainment, and event brands. You'll build your portfolio while learning professional design workflows, brand standards, print and digital production, and how to take a project from creative direction to finished piece.

You'll receive guidance and feedback from an experienced in-house designer while working on real projects with real deadlines. It's an opportunity to strengthen your skills, build confidence, and see your work used in the real world.
