The Opportunity

‍

Are you a passionate designer ready to imagine, iterate, and execute across multiple design directions and workflows? Are you someone who favors interactive prototypes over flat mockups? Perhaps someone who also has a keen business sense and the ability to craft design directions that are creative and scale Adobe’s design products?

‍

This is your opportunity to join a dynamic growing team, think holistically about design, and help build the future of creative tools for creative people just like you.

‍

All 2026 Adobe interns will be co-located hybrid. This means that interns will work between their assigned office and home. Interns will be based in the office where their manager and/or team are located, where they will get the most support to ensure collaboration and the best employee experience. Managers and their organization will determine the frequency they need to go into the office to meet priorities.

What You’ll Do

· Have meaningful ownership. You’ll make important decisions about the way our product looks, feels, and behaves.

· Critique and be critiqued. We value a positive personality who can give and take healthy feedback, encourage and develop the team’s ideas, and generally leave ego out of it.

· Help drive the design process. From early vision concepts, to wireframes, to visual design and on to pixel-perfect delivery, our team does it all.

· Understand and advocate for our users. Work with researchers and product managers from customer discovery to detailed usability testing, always putting our users first.

· Grow. You’ll sharpen your skills, take ownership of important aspects of the design, and help evolve our team as we continue to learn and tune our process.

· Collaborate. You’ll be part of a communicative, healthy, product development family that includes products managers, engineers, researchers and other designers.

· Ship. We ship. You’ll have multiple opportunities to bring the hypothetical to the actual and enjoy seeing your work in the hands of millions.

What You Need to Succeed

· Currently enrolled full time and pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s in interaction design, new media design, HCI, or a related design field; or equivalent experience required with an expected graduation date of December 2026 – June 2027

· Previous project, internship or work experience in UX/UI design or related fields.

· Experience working in teams with many moving parts.

· Experience working with or conducting your own research, presenting results, and acting on those results.

· Awareness of how visual design languages and UI frameworks affect the design process.

· Strong interpersonal, written and oral communication skills.

· Love for all things design.

/ 100
Adobe offers multiple clear entry routes, from internships across functions to university graduate roles, and Adobe backs that up with visible intern programming and a structured hiring-process outline. Pay range visibility is better than many large tech employers, and Adobe Digital Academy publishes unusually specific retention and promotion outcomes. The biggest gap is that Adobe does not publish consistent, company-wide outcomes for internships and new-grad hiring, such as conversion rates and typical time-to-promotion.
