Summer 2027 Intern, Motion Designer

About the Role

As a Motion Design Intern on Athena’s Creative team, you’ll collaborate with designers, producers, and creative partners to help bring ideas to life through motion. You’ll support the creation of motion assets that elevate storytelling across advertising, digital campaigns, social content and brand design. You’ll learn how Athena approaches creative development end-to-end, gaining exposure to real client work and internal brand initiatives while building your skills in motion craft, feedback cycles, and fast-paced creative workflows. About the Program The Athena internship program immerses interns in a collaborative, cross-functional environment where they work closely with teams across creative, marketing, events, operations, and data analytics—gaining exposure to how departments align to bring projects to life. Our Capstone Project allows interns to collaborate and contribute to real-world initiatives by presenting their proposal to internal stakeholders. Interns are mentored through weekly managerial check-ins and executive support. Athena fosters a culture of support, curiosity, connection, and inclusivity, which allows interns to shine. What You’ll Be Responsible For Support the creation of motion graphics and animations for digital campaigns and social content, helping bring creative concepts to life through movement. Assist in developing storyboards, style frames, and motion studies to explore and communicate animation ideas. Design and animate motion assets that incorporate strong fundamentals (composition, typography, pacing), including work with type when relevant. Collaborate with designers and creative partners to ensure motion and visual design work cohesively across deliverables. Participate in briefs, reviews, and feedback sessions—making revisions and learning how to iterate quickly while maintaining quality. Help keep files organized and production-ready, supporting versioning and handoffs as projects move through the workflow.
