Student Digital Designer with an AI Focus

Hive is Humblebee's multidisciplinary student lab. It's a place to experiment, challenge assumptions, learn by doing and turn promising ideas into digital services people actually want to use.

This time, we're putting AI at the heart of what we build. Not just as a tool to help us work faster, but as part of the service itself. Think intelligent features, AI-powered experiences and agents that can take on meaningful tasks and create real value for users.

We're looking for someone who loves exploring ideas, understanding people and making things tangible. Someone who sees design as more than making things look good, and is curious about how AI creates new possibilities for products, services and interactions. Someone who enjoys moving between user insights, creative exploration and hands-on prototyping to shape experiences that feel useful, intuitive and delightful. Sound like your kind of challenge?

What is Hive about?

Together with a partner company, the Hive team will explore an opportunity space, uncover real user needs and identify where an AI-powered digital service could make a difference.

You'll be part of a small student team consisting of Software AI Engineers, Designers with an AI focus and AI tools. Together you'll combine technical exploration, user insights and creative thinking to take an idea from the first question to a tangible, testable service. The goal isn't to add AI just because we can. It's to find the right problems to solve and design the right experiences around them.

What will you be doing?

At Humblebee, we believe in learning by doing. You'll be involved throughout the process, from exploring early ideas to designing and testing a working digital service.

Here's what that might look like:

Explore the problem. Work with the team to understand users, their needs and the opportunities worth pursuing.

Imagine new possibilities. Explore how AI can create new ways for people to interact with digital services. Think beyond traditional interfaces and challenge what a digital experience could look like when AI becomes part of it.

Design AI-powered experiences. Shape how people interact with intelligent features, LLMs and AI agents. Explore how to make AI-powered services feel useful, understandable, trustworthy and intuitive.

Prototype with AI. Use AI tools as a natural part of your design process. Experiment with AI-assisted prototyping, generate ideas, explore different directions and bring concepts to life faster than ever.

Make ideas tangible. Move between sketches, user flows, wireframes and interactive prototypes. Work closely with Software AI Engineers to explore what's technically possible and turn promising ideas into working experiences.

Prototype, test and iterate. Get ideas into users' hands early, learn from what happens and keep improving what you design.

Create something delightful. We care about the details. The goal isn't just to make something that works, but to create a useful, intuitive and well-crafted digital experience that people enjoy using.

You won't be expected to know everything from day one. But we do hope you're curious, willing to experiment and excited to explore what design can become in an AI-driven world.

Who are you?

You might be a student in interaction design, UX/UI design, service design or product design . What matters most is that you have a good understanding of design principles, an interest in UI design and design systems, a passion for understanding people, and a genuine curiosity about AI.

We want someone who's genuinely interested in how AI is changing the way we design digital services and what new possibilities that creates.

You enjoy experimenting, making ideas tangible and learning by doing. You're comfortable not having all the answers and see prototyping as a way to think, explore and learn.

You won't be doing it alone

You'll work right in the heart of the Humblebee office, surrounded by people who design, build and rethink digital services every day. You'll also get a personal mentor from our team of experienced Humblebees, matched to your skills.

You'll have room to experiment, make mistakes, ask questions and learn from people who are just as curious about the future of digital products as you are.

The practical stuff

Period: January 25 - May 28.
Location: Our office in Gothenburg.
Time commitment: In previous Hive projects, students have dedicated 80% of their time to the project and used the remaining 20% to work on their thesis. If you're looking to connect your studies or thesis to a real-world project, we're open to exploring how that could work.
Compensation: Please note that this is an unpaid internship.

Humblebee is a multilingual company, so please send your application in English.

We're looking forward to meeting you and seeing what we could design together!
