Graphic Design Intern | Hiro Technologies, Inc | Handshake

HIRO, Graphic Design Intern Job Description ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY: HIRO is a revolutionary nature-based start-up harnessing ancient technology — fungi — to help solve the global plastic crisis. Our first product is a baby diaper that returns to the earth with the help of our friendly fungi. (We chose diapers to launch with because they’re the #1 household plastic waste item and take 400+ years to decompose in a landfill — and each baby uses ~6,000 diapers in their lifetime. Wild, right?) We are looking for an inspired, art-forward graphic designer who is eager to work at a mission-driven startup. This role is perfect for an up-and-coming designer looking to build an iconic brand from the ground up. You'll work closely with our Chief Creative Officer (Miki Agrawal) and our Head of Growth & Partnerships to help translate our brand’s creative vision into artful assets across digital, print, packaging, and campaign collateral. Your work will turn nature (and baby diapers!) into compelling, emotionally resonant creative that connects with modern consumers. You thrive in a creative, ever-evolving workplace filled with environmentalists and science nerds. You’re fluent in digital and visual storytelling, comfortable with photography and video concepts, and excited to help build a category-defining brand. RESPONSIBILITIES: • Support and translate the CCO’s creative direction into compelling assets across brand, web, and marketing • Design graphics for the website, email, paid ads, packaging, social media, and creative campaigns • Help develop a visual identity that feels bold, fun, and deeply aligned with our sustainability mission • Collaborate across departments (growth, ops, product) to ensure assets are aligned with both brand and marketing goals • Help organize and art direct shoots (product, lifestyle) to bring the brand to life • Continuously evolve our brand toolkit, proposing fresh ideas and visuals • Stay current with design trends and creative tools • Support the rollout of new sub-brands and special projects (like the Institute for Generative Innovation) Bring a sense of joy and creativity to everything you touch — from baby poop memes to fungi-inspired art Apply tot his job Apply To this Job
