Picnic is a human centered brand in a digital world. We provide a better way to help every family enjoy good food every day, that is most affordable, hassle-free and sustainable. We cut out the unnecessary, so we can enjoy the essential.  

In the rush of daily life, Picnic puts smiles on people's faces with its authentic and innocent style. Our playful and non-gimmicky qualities ensure our communication resonates on a personal level, building trust in a lighthearted way and adding a subtle dose of delight to everyday life. 

If you're a passionate Visual Design student, we are offering you the opportunity to join the team at our Amsterdam HQ and help shape the visual direction of the first truly online supermarket. We are only just getting started 😉

Note: this is not a UX/UI design internship.

🥜 In a nutshell

At Picnic, the customer engagement and loyalty within the domain in online groceries is unprecedented.
