Our Spring 2020 Applications are now closed. Check back in Fall 2020!


Application Basics

Prospective applicants are asked to complete two things —

Design Challenge

This is a short challenge that should take around 4-6 hours. Don’t be too stressed out by this — we’ll be focusing on your process instead of the product; we want to see how you problem-solve! You will be submitting your slide deck in the Typeform link below.

Prompt is listed below in this page.

*NOTE 4/05: While we recommend the design challenge, if you have previous experience in UX, we will accept your application with a submission of a case study demonstrating a past project (preferably in a slideshow format, max 8 slides)

Written Application

This is just a Typeform application where you’ll be asked some quick questions so that we can get to learn more about you and your passion for design.

Typeform link: https://davisdesigninteractive.typeform.com/to/VerPj5

Look over the Typeform link — this is where you'll submit your written questions as well as link your slide deck to the Design Challenge in the last question (#10).

This application is due by April 8th, 2020 at 11:59pm.
