About Reingold

Reingold is a full-service marketing and creative firm in Alexandria, VA. For more than 40 years, we’ve been driven by a simple mission: to help organizations –– whether in the government, nonprofit, or business sector –– as they strive to make the world a better place. We hire top-notch talent to develop and launch compelling, inventive communications campaigns, leveraging the latest technology and digital media strategies that enable our clients to meet their audiences where they are.
That's where you come in. The UX/UI Design Intern joins our digital team for a full-time, in-person internship focused on pairing the latest tools and technology with critical thinking to design websites, apps, and digital tools that make complex information easy for real people to use. You’ll work alongside skilled designers, strategists, and developers on projects for government, nonprofit, and commercial clients. And you’ll contribute to every stage of the design process, from early research and wireframes to polished, tested prototypes. This is a hands-on opportunity to build your portfolio and learn how a modern, digital-first agency delivers user-centered work.
Internships at Reingold are full-time (40 hours) during the standard workweek and pay an hourly rate of $20. The internship class begins on Thursday, January 7, 2026, and runs through Friday, May 28, 2026. Core hours during the internship are 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Eastern time. This internship requires five in-office days (Monday – Friday) at our office in Alexandria, Virginia.

Responsibilities may include, but are not limited to:

Create wireframes, user flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity mockups for client websites, applications, and digital campaigns.
Support user research, including heuristic analysis, usability testing, and competitive audits, and help synthesize findings into clear, actionable insights.
Assist in developing personas, journey maps, site maps, and information architecture to guide design decisions.
Apply client brand guidelines and design systems to keep work consistent, and help build and maintain reusable components and style libraries.
Review designs for accessibility to help meet WCAG and Section 508 standards.
Share work in progress during team critiques, and present ideas to internal teams and, as appropriate, clients.
Document design decisions and help prepare project deliverables, such as annotated designs and research summaries.
