What you will be doing as a Retail Design Intern:

The Retail Design Internship focuses on developing creative design solutions for the interiors of Meijer stores. The objective of the Design Intern projects are to create cohesive looks throughout our stores by focusing on creating unique merchandising and operational fixture designs, development of interior graphics that are permanently mounted to store walls and/or suspended from the ceiling, and overall departmental aesthetics to create an immersive shopping and team member experience. Major design milestones are forecast out for the internship project, and the Design Intern meets with internal business stakeholders to review concepts and receive feedback with the objective of gaining alignment on their final design proposals. The works of previous Retail Design Interns have become actual design elements that Meijer uses in our stores - this internship provides real world professional design experience where your concepts have a chance of being installed in our stores for years to come.
