Your role at GamingCenter
GamingCenter connects gaming talent, creators, communities and organisations through marketplace and careers experiences. Those journeys need to feel clear, credible and easy to complete on both mobile and desktop.
In this supervised internship, you will help define user problems, map flows and prepare reviewable interface concepts. You will work from existing product behaviour, approved research questions and a shared design system rather than redesigning the product without context.
The role does not independently publish production changes, conduct unrestricted user research, reuse third-party designs or collect personal data outside approved tools. Success means clearer decisions, accessible interaction patterns and prototypes that can be tested before engineering work begins.
How you will contribute
- Review one scoped careers or marketplace journey and clarify the user problem
- Map current and proposed flows, including empty, loading, error and success states
- Prepare low- and mid-fidelity wireframes before visual refinement
- Apply the existing GamingCenter design system and accessibility requirements
- Create a clickable prototype and document interaction decisions
- Support approved usability checks and summarise evidence without exposing personal data
- Prepare clear hand-off notes, acceptance criteria and responsive behaviour for engineering
- Maintain versioned source files and respond constructively to review feedback
What will help you succeed
- Current enrolment or recent study in interaction design, product design, UX, visual communication or a related field
- Physical residence and legal eligibility to perform the internship from Estonia
- A portfolio showing your thinking, process and at least one interface or service journey
- Foundational understanding of responsive design, hierarchy and accessibility
- Working knowledge of Figma or a comparable interface-design tool
- Clear written English and reliable remote collaboration
- Ability to explain trade-offs and distinguish evidence from personal preference
Helpful experience
- Experience with design systems or component libraries
- Basic usability-testing or research synthesis experience
- Interest in gaming marketplaces, creator products or recruitment technology
What you will learn and gain
- A documented learning plan covering product discovery, interaction design and hand-off
- Weekly critique and feedback on process, accessibility and communication
- Experience designing within real technical and operational constraints
- Portfolio-ready work where confidentiality permits
- An internship completion certificate after successful completion
