About IPMD

IPMD is an AI-driven healthcare company building empathetic, evidence-informed products that improve mental and physical well-being. We blend clinical insight, human-centered design, and responsible AI to deliver accessible tools for diverse populations.

Why this role matters (highlighted achievements)

• IPMD’s CEO was named Visionary CEO in Emotional AI & Human-Centered Healthcare Innovation at the 2025 Business Worldwide Magazine CEO Awards, reflecting leadership and real-world impact of our EchoAI platform.
• IPMD recently signed an MOU and launched a hands-on AI + art program with Sokcho’s House of Grace , using EchoAI to help community members with developmental and intellectual disabilities express emotion through collaborative artwork.

Role overview

We are hiring a creative, empathetic Design Intern to support UI/UX, graphic, motion, and art design across product, research, and communications. You will help translate clinical evidence and emotional‑AI outputs into intuitive interfaces, visual systems, and motion experiences that make complex data feel human and actionable — and help transform collaborative community art into finished works for exhibition and publication.

Key responsibilities

• Design UI and interaction flows for web and mobile prototypes.
• Create icons, illustrations, data visualizations, and marketing graphics.
• Produce short motion pieces and micro‑interactions to communicate product states and user journeys.
• Apply visual storytelling to convert clinical and research findings (including EchoAI outputs) into clear, empathetic designs.
• Collaborate with product managers, researchers, engineers, clinicians, and community partners to iterate on design solutions.
• Help maintain and evolve the design system and brand guidelines with accessibility and localization in mind.
• Support user‑testing sessions and translate feedback into design improvements.
• Co-design and produce Final Art Pieces

by integrating artworks created by people with intellectual and developmental disabilities with AI-assisted elements and the project’s visual direction — preparing works for community exhibitions, publications, and product showcases.
- Ensure ethical, consent-driven workflows and transparent attribution when working with community co-creators.

Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in or recently graduated from a design, HCI, interaction, or visual arts program (or equivalent experience).
• Strong portfolio showing UI/UX work plus graphic or motion projects (link required)

.
- Proficiency with Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud; After Effects or similar for motion.
- Understanding of user-centered design, accessibility (WCAG basics), and visual hierarchy.
- Strong communicator; able to work cross-functionally in fast-moving teams.
- Interest in healthcare, behavioral science, AI, or Generative AI graphic/motion design is strongly preferred.
- Familiarity with prototyping and basic front-end constraints is a plus.
- Experience or demonstrated sensitivity working with neurodiverse or disability communities is a strong advantage.

What we offer

• This position begins as a non‑paid, education-focused internship

; the role is designed primarily for learning, and hands-on experience.
- Support for academic credit:

we will assist interns in applying this work toward university research or internship credits.
- Direct mentorship from IPMD’s CEO, Min Lee

— recipient of the 2025 Visionary CEO Award for Emotional AI and Human‑Centered Healthcare.
- Real ownership and impact:

meaningful responsibilities, visible product deliverables, and opportunities to ship work used by real users.
- Flexible schedule with fully remote participation:

this internship supports flexible hours and is offered as a 100% remote, online program
- Participation

in community‑facing programs and public exhibitions that showcase collaborative AI + human artwork.
- Compensation pathway:

the program begins as non‑paid and education‑focused, but IPMD is committed to fair, consented attribution and to establishing attractive compensations if Final Art Pieces you help create are exhibited, published, or sold (including gallery shows, catalogs, or other commercial distribution). Crucially, proceeds will be routed first and foremost to the community co‑creators — including people with autism, intellectual, and developmental disabilities — so that the work directly benefits the participants. By joining this internship you not only gain professional experience and potential financial upside, you also play a direct role in a socially responsible workflow that returns value to marginalized creators and amplifies their economic and cultural inclusion.
