About MOXIE MOTO:
MOXIE MOTO is a women’s motorsports apparel startup on a mission to shake up the industry—creating gear that actually fits, performs, and looks good. We’re in a super exciting phase: early-stage, pre-launch, and laying the foundation for a brand that’s bold, community-driven, and built from the inside out.
This internship is hands-on and high-energy. You won’t be assisting—you’ll be building. From shaping our voice and planning content to testing campaign ideas and helping us grow, you’ll get to be part of the real work that brings a brand to life. Fall projects will build off our current roadmap and include content strategy, newsletters, social planning, and campaign experimentation.
Internship Description:
MOXIE MOTO is seeking a bold, Creative & Visual Branding Intern who’s excited to build the look and feel of a brand from the ground up. This is a rare chance to create original visual assets for a startup in its pre-launch phase—think campaign graphics, social media templates, email visuals, and experimental content ideas.
You’ll work directly with the founder (a Parsons-trained designer) to translate brand values and product storytelling into dynamic visual touchpoints. Expect to stretch creatively, gain real-world feedback, and walk away with a portfolio full of strategic, brand-led work that didn’t exist before.

- Collaborate with founder and marketing intern to maintain visual consistency
- Translate brand goals and audience insight into content visuals
- Organize and archive brand assets in shared folders
- Present design concepts during team reviews and iterate with feedback
Goals and Expectations of the Intern:
The intern will be expected to bring a collaborative attitude, attention to detail, and a strong sense of visual storytelling. They will help shape MOXIE MOTO’s design identity from scratch, with guidance and feedback throughout. By the end of the internship, the intern will have contributed to real-world branding work that ties to marketing goals and will walk away with a well-documented portfolio of creative output.
