The Conair Summer Internship Program is designed to immerse exceptional students in the exciting world of product innovation and consumer experience. As a UX/UI Designer Intern on the Cuisinart Innovation Team, you�ll explore how people cook, share, and experience food�and translate those insights into intuitive, delightful, and trend-forward digital experiences. We�re looking for a curious, positive, and design-obsessed thinker�someone who lives and breathes creativity, follows the latest social and design trends, and loves connecting great design with real-life moments around food and home.

Daily Responsibilities:

Design for Experience: Help craft engaging and intuitive digital touchpoints for Cuisinart�s connected appliances, apps, and brand experiences. Research Curiosity: Participate in user interviews, social media trend spotting, and usability testing to uncover consumer insights that inspire new ideas. Prototype & Play: Create wireframes, prototypes, and visuals using tools like Figma, Adobe XD, or Sketch�and bring your ideas to life through storytelling and motion. Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely with product managers, engineers, culinary experts, and marketers to bring fresh digital concepts to market. Innovate & Inspire: Track emerging trends in design, social media, technology, and food culture�and share ideas that could shape next generation of Cuisinart experiences. Evolve Design Systems: Contribute to Cuisinart�s evolving digital design system and help refine a consistent, beautiful, and functional design language.

Job Requirements:

A rising senior or graduate student studying UX/UI Design, Product Design, Interaction Design, Industrial Design (with a UI focus), or a related field. Interested in designing user interfaces for physical products and small kitchen appliances�such as displays, buttons, knobs, touch panels, lights, and sounds�not websites or mobile apps. Comfortable creating simple, intuitive interfaces for small screens and limited controls, where clarity and ease of use matter more than visual complexity. Curious about how people actually use products in real kitchens�with wet hands, limited time, and lots of distractions. Thoughtful about usability, ergonomics, feedback, and error prevention when designing physical interfaces. Proficient in Figma (or similar tools) for wireframes, flows, and interaction concepts, with a portfolio that shows clear thinking about how users interact with physical products. Collaborative, detail-oriented, and excited to see designs become real products that people use every day. Passionate about finding the latest design trends with an innate curiosity to want to learn more about user experiences. You should be a current college student, entering your senior year in the fall of 2026. The internship program will run from June 1, 2026, through August 7, 2026.
