Brand Architect Intern · Cohort 01

Learn to build a brand the way a house does.

A guided, fully remote, part-time cohort that develops Brand Architects inside createspace — through the same education, training and standards our own Brand Architect works by. At the close, one intern is hired directly into the Brand Architect Jr. seat.

The program

01

Week 0 — Orientation

Meet the cohort and the house. Set your weekly hours and your two live sessions, and get your seat in the workspace.

02

Weeks 1–3 — Foundations

Colour, type and identity, and the house’s own standards: the four Brand Architect study books, each with its self-checks, and the voice the house writes in.

03

Weeks 4–6 — Certification

The Brand Architect certification series — colour, the personal brand, the visual brand — sat on your schedule, and a proctored practicum.

04

Weeks 7–8 — The workspace

The Brand Architect workspace training, paced for part-time, inside a working simulation of the studio’s own workspace: the engine, the service desk, campaigns and messages.

05

Weeks 9–11 — Supervised live work

Real briefs through the Brand Architect Engine, reviewed before anything ships, with a weekly working review and a monthly hour with the founder.

06

Week 12 — Capstone and the hire

A brand system you build and defend live, and an advancement review. One intern is hired directly into the Brand Architect Jr. seat.

How we choose

01

Application read

A person reads every application by hand — the work you link, and the thinking in your answers.

02

A conversation

Thirty minutes on video: how you see, how you think, and what you want from the cohort.

03

A studio exercise

A short take-home brand brief, about three hours on your own time.

04

The offer

An offer to join the cohort, and your seat in the workspace.

Who it's for

Students, recent graduates, self-taught designers and people changing careers into brand work. You don't need a degree or a long portfolio. You need an eye you can explain, the habit of finishing things, and hours you can actually keep.
