Spring 2026 Visual Communication Intern (Design Education & Training)
Altar'd State 3.8
Public relations internship job in Knoxville, TN
Corporate Office - Knoxville, TN
Who Are We?
Stand Out For Good, Inc. is a rapidly growing women's fashion company with 5 unique brands, in 130+ locations, across 38 states. Our stores feel like a sanctuary - a place of beauty from the inside out. From welcoming experiences and warm associates to thoughtfully curated products, our brands are built upon the founding principles of giving back and making a difference in the World.
Our Mission
“Stand Out. For Good”. At Altar'd State, those four words are more than just our motto, they are why we exist. From Mission Mondays, where 10% of our net proceeds go directly to local charitable organizations, to our long-standing partnership with Coprodeli USA, in which we are in the process of building 22 schools for impoverished communities in Peru, we are committed to giving back in meaningful ways to those in need.
The Visual Communication Intern plays a key role in translating our finished window and interior design concepts into educational tools that empower stores to recreate the look with clarity and confidence. Rather than assisting in the creation of the designs themselves, this role focuses on how those designs are taught.
We're looking for someone who can take the artistry of our window designs and translate them into intuitive learning tools - pairing layout, language, and visual direction to make every store feel confident in bringing the vision to life.
This role blends editorial layout, visual storytelling, instructional communication, and content organization. The ideal candidate loves both creativity and structure, and enjoys turning complex information into something simple, beautiful, and easy to follow.
Key Responsibilities
Translate final creative direction into step-by-step digital manuals for stores, including:
Written build instructions
Material and prop checklists
Placement diagrams and callouts
Styling guidance and “Do / Don't” examples
Help develop instructional video content, supporting script outlines, filming needs, and editing when able.
Organize large volumes of notes, visuals, and information into clean, digestible, magazine-style documents.
Ensure instructions balance design intent and practicality, making execution realistic for all store types.
Partner with teams to confirm clarity, accuracy, and consistency.
Maintain organized file systems and project folders, ensuring all documentation is easy to access and reference.
Who Thrives in This Role
Someone with a love for layout, copy, graphic structure, and visual clarity
Someone who gets energy from turning creative chaos into beautifully simplified steps
Someone who wants to help others succeed by building tools that teach, guide, and empower
Qualifications
Junior, senior, or recent graduate majoring in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, Visual Merchandising, Editorial/Publication Design, Instructional Design, or related field
Strong skills in layout and visual organization (InDesign, Illustrator, Figma, or similar platforms preferred)
Excellent attention to detail in both visual polish and written grammar
Ability to simplify complex information into clear, actionable sequencing
Highly organized and comfortable managing multiple project deadlines simultaneously
Collaborative communicator who enjoys cross-department work
Availability
Must have weekday availability
Able to work 20-25 hours per week
Flexibility during seasonal peak periods when window educational materials are released
Why This Role Matters
Beautiful design becomes meaningful only when stores can bring it to life.
This role ensures that:
Every store receives tools that are inspiring, clear, and easy to follow
Execution consistency matches the creative vision
The guest experience feels elevated across every location, every season
You'll turn design into education - creating the roadmap that helps our stores succeed.
Stand Out For Good, Inc. is an equal opportunity employer and values diversity. All employment decisions are decided on the basis of qualification, merit and business need. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex or national origin.
We are proud to share that our associates have made us one of Fortune's Best Companies to Work For! Recently, our team has received the following recognition:
#73 in Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For 2023
#4 in Fortune Best Workplaces in Retail™ 2022
