Type: Internship / Fellowship (4 or 6-month)
Location: Portland, Oregon preferred (remote considered)
HILOS is building the first 3D design platform made specifically for footwear — no CAD required. Powered by machine learning, our core geometry engine breaks down barriers between 2D and 3D, design and manufacturing.
Our cross-functional team sits at the intersection of footwear and software, combining craft and intelligence to give designers a second brain and third hand. We're here to amplify human impact in real-world creation — and we believe the tools should be just as inspiring as the work they enable.
As a startup we prioritize individual growth, ownership, being proactive and transparent. We're a small and dynamic team assembled from around the world across software, 3D design, and footwear industries. Highly curious and multifaceted personalities thrive here. There's a lot of freedom and responsibility, not a lot of support resources or process constraints.
This is a hands-on, portfolio-building role — not a coffee-fetching internship.
You'll work directly with HILOS leadership to shape the visual identity and marketing presence of an emerging design platform: producing original photography, video, and graphic design; building social content systems; and contributing to campaigns that reach designers and manufacturers around the world.
We're building something genuinely new at the edge of digital fabrication and creative technology. If you want real-world experience creating content that matters — not mock briefs — this is the fellowship for you.
Photography & Visual Content — Shoot and edit original photo content: product, studio, lifestyle, event. Build a visual library that shows what HILOS makes possible. Help define the aesthetic language of the brand.
Video & Cinematography — Produce short-form video for Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn. Document behind-the-scenes moments, product demos, community events, and designer stories. Basic editing and motion graphics a plus.
Graphic Design — Design social assets, email layouts, event graphics, and presentation decks. Contribute to a lightweight, evolving brand system that keeps every touchpoint feeling cohesive.
Marketing Support — Assist with email campaigns, community content, and launch moments. Write captions and short-form copy that sounds like a person, not a press release.
