Company Profile

Graphic Design Intern

Sugar is a tech startup that operates an awesome mobile app providing incentives for users to discover cool new places around them. The app is fully interactive (and also quite addictive) and was featured by Apple as an Editor's Pick on the App Store within one week of launch in Singapore. 

Sugar gained rapid traction in Singapore within a few months of its official launch - the app has received consistently positive ratings, been nominated for awards, and been featured in media more than 20 times. The company has already received backing from elite investors who have also backed companies like Razer and Xiaomi at a very early stage.

We are now in a period of high growth, and require talented and passionate individuals to join our growing team as we look to establish a regional footprint.

Our Internship Philosophy

  • Our interns are here to learn and not to provide 'cheap labour'. You will not be asked to perform menial tasks or run meaningless errands. Your internship will not be about making coffee or standing by at the photocopying machine. We treat you with respect.

  • At the same time, we recognise that an intern's main prerogative is to learn and gain experience. We will not expect you to be responsible for the delivery of actual results. Rather, we will provide you with a safe learning environment, where you will be able to experiment and make mistakes.

  • We will not be teaching you technical skills ('know how') as these ought to be picked up either in school or in your own time. Instead, we will be teaching you how to apply your skills in the real world ('know why') and how to assimilate your theoretical knowledge into real life as a professional. This way, the concepts from your textbooks and classes will literally come to life.

  • All interns will be assigned a mentor and will also be given special attention by our senior management personnel, including our founders. This way, you will be exposed to a variety of ideas and perspectives and better equipped to deal with life as a future professional or entrepreneur.

  • Interns will be provided with a generous monthly transport/meal allowance in cash. There will be no remuneration or salary. This is because we view internships as learning placements and not low-cost labour.

Job Description

What we are looking for:

  • You are independent, motivated and adventurous. You want to work for a start-up because it's fun and exciting, but also because you know you will be able to make lots of money once the business takes off.

  • You loathe bureaucrats and pen-pushers. Though you are an excellent conservationist, you have an over-arching desire to get epic things done.

  • You think outside the box and find innovative ways to solve problems instead of just ducking them and referring them to someone in "authority".

  • You are a great team player, have a fun personality, and have interests that others might find unusual. You are proud of being unconventional, and you appreciate others for who they are. You do not judge others using conventional yardsticks. And above all you are someone who is regarded as having integrity, and would never do anything to sabotage another person.

  • You are well-travelled and have at least one friend from a different country. You are fascinated by other cultures and schools of thought. You read books. You have book-marked Wikipedia. You are intellectually curious and believe that you can learn something new every day.

  • You are interested in entrepreneurship. You believe that entrepreneurship can change the world we live in. You have either attempted a start-up of your own, or have worked in a start-up at some stage in your career -- because it's SO much cooler than being a banker or an accountant! By the way, it's totally okay with us if your start-up failed -- tell us the reasons why it failed and how the lessons you learnt have made you stronger!

Requirements:

  • Proficient in the Adobe Creative Suite (especially Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign)

  • Organised and meticulous, with an excellent eye for detail

  • Knowledge of current mobile and web trends, with a love of app usability and mobile interface design
