Illustrator Intern

Illustrator Internship — le lien studio (Stationery)

le lien studio is looking for a lovely and creative illustrator to join our growing stationery world for a three-month to six-month remote internship.

We are building a stationery brand inspired by Parisian charm, handwritten letters, storytelling, nostalgia, stickers, and timeless paper goods. Our goal is to create thoughtful luxury stationery pieces with personality: from elegant sticker collections and writing paper to bookmarks, postcards, collectible paper treasures, and snail mail club.

This is a very part-time unpaid internship (around four hours weekly), designed especially for students, recent graduates, or emerging creatives looking to gain hands-on industry experience, strengthen their portfolio, and grow alongside a new independent creative brand.

Although the role is fully remote, applicants must currently be based in London.

What you’ll be working on:

• Luxury-inspired sticker collections

• Writing paper and letter sets

• Bookmarks, postcards, and packaging

• Moodboards and creative concepts

• Seasonal and Paris and London-inspired illustrations

• Creative support for social media content

What we’re looking for:

• A strong creative eye and a unique illustration style

• Someone who genuinely loves stationery, storytelling, stickers, vintage-inspired aesthetics, and paper goods

• Basic knowledge of Procreate, Canva, Illustrator, or similar creative tools

• A portfolio full of personality and originality

• Someone kind, collaborative, imaginative, and excited to grow with a small creative brand

What you’ll gain:

• Valuable hands-on creative industry experience

• Portfolio-building projects with artistic freedom

• Behind-the-scenes experience building a brand from the ground up

• Flexible remote working

• Access to selected products and little brand perks

• A trip to Paris for a stationery convention with all expenses paid (plane, hotel, food, etc.)

• Professional references and recommendations upon successful completion

Please note: this is an unpaid internship focused on creative development, portfolio growth, networking opportunities, and professional experience rather than financial compensation.

This opportunity would suit someone dreaming of a future in illustration, stationery, publishing, branding, or creative direction.

To apply, please send your portfolio and a short introduction to:

Much love,
