Graphic Design & Illustration Intern
The Tyndale Design Team is looking for an intern with strong illustration and graphic design skills that can help us publish illustrated books, both for kids and adults. You’ll get an insider view of the publishing process and see how books are created by working with the design, acquisitions, marketing, typesetting, and production teams that help develop our illustrated books from start to finish. If you have a passion for illustration and want to see how you can put those skills to use in the “real world,” we’d love to show you a few paths for doing so.

And you'll do all of this in a Christian environment where we pray, encourage, and support one another every day.
