Graphic / Product Designer at Tim&Leon

Note: This is an unpaid internship opportunity / project for your portfolio!

Who We Are

We are Tim and Leon – two young founders working with passion and full commitment on the future of pet nutrition. Our goal: to take transparency, quality, and sustainability in pet food to a new level and build Tim&Leon into a brand that pet owners can trust.

We are currently in the early founding phase – which means we’re preparing to launch our very first product: a dog snack made with an innovative protein source. Right now, we’re looking for a creative and detail-oriented Graphic / Product Designer to join our growing team. If you love turning ideas into visuals, thrive on bringing products to life through design, and want to shape how people experience a brand, this could be your next adventure.

Who We’re Looking For

Are you motivated, eager to build something alongside your studies, and looking to gain real start-up experience? Perfect! Prior experience isn’t required – what matters most is that you bring a hands-on mentality, initiative, and drive.

The role starts at around 10 hours per week. Since we are still at a very early stage, we unfortunately cannot offer payment at this point. However, you’ll have the chance to gain valuable experience, contribute your own ideas, put them into action, and play a meaningful role in shaping our company!
