About Barlow & Co.
Barlow & Co. is a boutique design agency based in West London. We specialise in packaging design within the drinks industry, with a particular focus on wine, and work with some of the UK's leading drinks retailers.
Culture is extremely important to us. It's as much about talent as it is about how we work together as a team. We're a nimble group of wine, food and music-loving people who genuinely enjoy spending time together.
We work full-time from our design studio in Chiswick, London, and we're looking for a curious and enthusiastic Design Intern (Graduate) to join us on a full-time, permanent basis. This is a fully office-based role.
About the Role.
