Graphic Design Intern

About the role

Reingold is a full-service marketing and creative firm in Alexandria, VA.

We hire top-notch talent to develop and launch compelling, inventive communications campaigns, leveraging the latest technology and digital media strategies that enable our clients to meet their audiences where they are.

You’ll collaborate across departments, bring curiosity to every brief, and contribute your perspective to a team that genuinely values it. If you’re someone who asks questions, cares about the effect your work has on an audience, and wants to grow inside a firm doing meaningful work, you’ll fit right in.
