Graphic Design Fellowship
The Good Grit brand launched in 2014 with one mission in mind, to tell meaningful stories and inspire people to own their story, and share their Grit (perseverance at the highest level) with the whole damn world. We are a magazine telling those stories—and we are a creative agency helping businesses do the same. If you are reading this it is probably because you know that creativity is your meaningful contribution to the world and you are looking for a place to release it in a meaningful way…if that’s true—you may be just who we are looking for.
In your role as a Good Grit Fellow, you will not only be paid for your work…you will leave with a portfolio that makes you WILDLY sought after in the creative space. Good Grit believes in the next generation of designers and writers and illustrators and photographers and editors and videographers—and well, ALL OF THEM. Because without creatives the world would be a pretty sad place. So, THANK YOU FOR EXISTING. Read more to find out the qualifications for your dream position.

A little bit about Good Grit Agency:
We’re a branding and creative storytelling agency. The creative agency was started by Shivani Kapoor and CEO and founder, Laura Quick. Seven years ago, Laura started Good Grit Magazine, a quarterly publication that puts a spotlight on resilient humans and their stories in the Southeast. We are a small but mighty and nimble team, looking for someone highly creative and who enjoys doing (and wants to learn) a bit of everything design-wise: print and layout, web design, content creation, branding, and really everything you will need to have a creative design career!
