Over your 12-month placement, you will experience this full-circle process across 3 different projects, where your contribution will grow naturally alongside your developing skills. On your first project, you’ll start in a supportive observer role to learn our ways of working. By the second, you'll be actively contributing to the creative output, and on your final project, you'll step up to take ownership of specific creative tasks with the team's full backing.

• Research, Analysis & Concepting — conducting retail safaris as well as market, trend, and audience research to support tactical strategy decks and client pitches.
• Collaborative Designing & Thinking — working alongside our senior design and strategy specialists to sketch, mock up, and develop creative solutions for diverse client accounts.
• Pitch & Presentation Support — contributing to beautifully designed, strategically sound client presentations, workshops and project deliverables.
• Studio Collaboration — staying nimble and stepping in to support the team wherever a fast-paced live project needs a blend of creative problem-solving.
• Internal Studio Initiatives – supporting with ongoing internal projects and becoming an integral player in our studio culture.

Who You Are

At YourStudio, talent isn’t defined by a specific degree, a traditional background, or formal professional training. If you have the drive, a fierce creative curiosity, and a genuine passion for how people experience spaces, we want to hear from you.

We are looking for creative individuals who want to immerse themselves in every single layer of the creative process. For us, designing retail environments is a holistic journey—and you'll be involved in all of it. This means you are just as excited about the tactical, deep-dive strategy work that uncovers why audiences behave the way they do, as you are about the creative moves and storytelling that brings those spaces to life.

Whether you are self-taught, changing careers, or taking your very first step into the creative industry, what matters most to us is your unique perspective, your eagerness to learn, and your passion for shaping the future of retail design.

We're less interested in the path you've taken than the potential you've demonstrated.

You may be a recent graduate, self-taught creative, career changer or someone who has built skills through personal projects or another creative discipline. What matters is that you've already begun developing a strong creative point of view and can demonstrate thoughtful work that shows curiosity, craft and potential.

You don't need experience across strategy, brand and spatial design—but you should have genuine interest in how ideas move from insight to execution. We want to meet people who enjoy asking questions, exploring problems and creating work that connects brands with people in meaningful ways.

You'll likely bring some combination of:

• A portfolio or project work demonstrating creative thinking, design craft or strategic problem-solving.
• Strong visual, written or communication skills.
• Curiosity about retail, brands, culture and human behaviour.
• A willingness to learn, seek feedback and collaborate openly.
• Confidence taking ownership of tasks while asking for support when needed.

We're looking for potential, not perfection—but we do expect evidence that you're committed to developing your craft.

What’s in it for You?

• A True Career Path — this is a 12-month investment in your growth. We are here to train you, mentor you, and ideally welcome you as a permanent, full-time team member at the end of the programme, subject to business needs.
• Real Portfolio Work - you will leave this placement with tangible, high-profile case studies and projects on your portfolio that you actually helped strategize and create.
• Global Exposure: Work alongside top-tier creative talent and global brands in an environment that champions direct collaboration and open communication.
