About Us
At SimplePractice, our team is dedicated to improving the health and wellness industry by building a suite of innovative solutions for practitioners and their clients. Our product supports practitioners on their clinical journey, helps them manage their business and practice once they’re up and running, and enables new clients to discover and interact with practitioners. Taking a practitioner-first approach in everything we do makes it possible for health and wellness practitioners to devote more time to their clients while they use SimplePractice to start, grow, and maintain a successful private practice.
The Role
Our ideal candidate is someone eager to learn and develop their design skills across multiple disciplines (product, content, interaction, and visual design). You'll be supported in our collaborative environment where we encourage questions, provide mentorship, and value fresh perspectives. We embrace a "learning by doing" approach and understand that internships are about growth and skill development.
While you'll have opportunities to explore various design aspects, we don't expect you to have all the answers. Your curiosity, willingness to ask questions, and enthusiasm for improving your skills will make you a valuable team member. This internship is designed to help you build real-world experience while receiving guidance from experienced designers.
Some examples of project work you might do include:
- Assisting with crafting research plans and participating in customer interviews
- Analyzing data trends on existing product areas to reveal insights and identify opportunities
- Working with designers and the design systems team to update user interfaces to deliver a more delightful experience to customers
- Improving our accessibility capabilities and help collaboration across product, design, and engineering to deliver inclusive customer facing products
This is a paid internship that is remote and can be up to 40 hours per week based on availability. We sometimes meet at our Santa Monica office for workshops and events, but it isn’t required.
Responsibilities
- Applying our design system components to create consistent and polished user interfaces, while suggesting refinements that improve usability
- Supporting our commitment to accessibility by applying WCAG guidelines and best practices throughout the design process
- Contributing fresh perspectives and creative ideas for upcoming features or product improvements
- Participating in design critiques where your attention to detail and unique viewpoint will be valued
- Conducting competitive analysis to identify design trends and bring innovative approaches to our product experience
