About the placement

This internship is with DesignStreet and is facilitated by the CSIRO's Generation STEM Links program.

You are fascinated by AI and want to see what it can do in the hands of creative people. DesignStreet is building Creative Intelligence, our own approach to pairing human-led creativity with AI. It is now a core part of what we deliver for some of Australia's biggest brands.

In this placement you will help shape it. You will work alongside our designers, developers and Creative Director to test new AI tools, build workflows and prototypes, and help turn ideas into working systems for clients.
