Student Internship - Entertainment Design - Summer 2026 - Los Angeles

At Gensler Entertainment, we design stories in the real world. We leverage our global perspective and local presence to innovate at every scale. We’re not just designers. We’re tinkerers, storytellers, craftspeople, visionaries, innovators and thought leaders. Fueled by passion and entrepreneurial spirit, our people bring new ideas to solve challenging problems. Whether you’re into sketching new ideas, hacking a building, or growing client relationships in global markets, there’s something here for everyone. 

Our depth of expertise spans disciplines—from workplace and mixed use to education, hospitality, cultural institutions, digital tech, and more. Whether we’re dreaming into a future learning environment, planning a new urban district or designing a super tall building, we strive to make the everyday places people occupy more inspiring, more resilient and more impactful.  

 Gensler believes in the transformative power of design through the application of advanced technology. We embrace bold and different ways of thinking and exploring different technologies and celebrate those who challenge conventions. Priority will be given to candidates that demonstrate a curiosity for new and innovative applications of technology in their practice or in their daily lives. We value a holistic approach: the tools you use, how you think, how you solve problems, imagine possibilities, and push boundaries. Innovation thrives when we dare to be different and not afraid to fail.
