Dossier Creative is a branding and innovation design firm based in Vancouver, Canada. We create compelling brands, drive business growth through innovation, and build value for our entrepreneurial partners. Over the past 30+ years, our team of international design and business thinkers have helped global multinationals, start-ups, and not-for-profits build lasting value in their organizations and brands. Our scope of work ranges from core business innovation to branding, naming, logo, web, packaging design, and beyond.

As part of Dossier's commitment to cultivating the next generation of business and design thinkers, Railyard Lab is a student innovation lab that gives design and business students and recent graduates an opportunity to gain meaningful experience through work with charities, not-for-profits, and social impact organizations! Over the past 9 years, Railyard has run 9 cohorts with an alumni network of 40 ‘Yardies’ working in some of the biggest tech organizations, leading design studios, start-ups, and social venture organizations across Canada.

We are seeking support from two interns - a Marketing Intern and a Visual & Digital Design Intern - to complete an audit of the Dossier and Railyard online presence and implement recommendations to optimize our website and social media channels.

Visual & Digital Design Intern

The primary focuses will be on:

  • Website and UX strategy audit and implementation of recommendations
  • Lean user research to gain an understanding of areas of opportunities for our online presence
  • Visual Design: create visuals for the website and share them on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter
  • Website front-end and back-end development (if required)

Goals of this internship:

  • Create a cohesive storyline that showcases the work of Dossier and Railyard Lab
  • Design a repeatable process that will be used (with tweaks and alterations) in the future.

Communication: We will communicate with our virtual intern through Slack and Zoom calls.

Primary contact: Shane Tierney, Producer & Railyard Lab Manager

Mentorship and supervision: Shane Tierney will be the main point of contact and meet with the student weekly or twice a week if needed, all via Zoom. He will be reachable via Slack and email at any point and will help steer the strategic direction of the project.
