About BYVIDA

BYVIDA is a VC-backed wellness startup based in the heart of Berlin, building a new generation of beauty and hair health products for women.

Our mission is to help women regain confidence through science-backed products, premium branding, and meaningful storytelling.

Our first flagship product is Happy Hair — a nutraceutical for female hair health developed with a holistic and science-driven approach.


But BYVIDA is more than just one product. We’re building a modern beauty and wellness brand at the intersection of science, aesthetics, and emotional transformation — combining educational content, strong visual storytelling, and social-first communication.

As we continue to grow, creative becomes one of the most important ways people discover, trust, and connect with our brand.


Why this role exists

We believe great creative can make people stop, feel something, and remember a brand.

From Instagram to our online shop, visuals shape how customers experience BYVIDA every single day. That’s why we’re looking for a Working Student Graphic Design (gn) who loves modern design, social media, and creating content that actually resonates with people.

This role is perfect for someone who wants real hands-on experience inside a fast-growing startup and is excited to work on creative that has visible impact from day one.

You’ll work closely with the founders, support the creation of visual assets across different channels, and gradually contribute your own creative ideas, concepts, and inspiration.


What you’ll do

Create social & campaign creatives

You design static creatives for Instagram, campaigns, paid social, and digital marketing channels with a strong eye for aesthetics, clarity, and storytelling.


Support our social media content

You create story assets, graphics, layouts, and visual content for our social media channels — always with an understanding of what feels native, engaging, and visually strong.


Design marketing assets

You support the creation of newsletters, website visuals, landing page assets, campaign graphics, and other digital brand touchpoints.


Work on e-commerce & brand visuals

You help improve visuals for our online shop, product pages, launches, and campaigns to create a consistent and premium brand experience.


Bring in creative ideas

Over time, you’ll also contribute your own creative concepts, references, trends, and ideas for visual storytelling and content formats.


What we’re looking for

  • You are currently enrolled at a university and eligible to work as a Working Student (“Werkstudent:in”)
  • You study Graphic Design, Communication Design, Media Design, or something similar
  • You have a strong eye for aesthetics, composition, typography, and modern visual design
  • You enjoy creating clean, social-first creatives and understand what works visually on platforms like Instagram and TikTok
  • You’re interested in branding, content, social media, and digital culture
  • You have a genuine interest in creative strategy and understand that good design is not just about making things look nice — but making people feel something
  • You work structured, reliable, and proactive
  • German is a plus, but not required
  • Bonus: Interest in beauty, wellness, health, or longevity


Tools you should feel comfortable with

  • Canva and/or Adobe Illustrator/ Photoshop
  • Bonus: CapCut


What we offer

  • Direct collaboration with the founders
  • A fast-moving startup environment with real ownership
  • Hands-on experience in building a modern consumer brand
  • The opportunity to work on creatives with visible impact
  • Office in Berlin-Mitte close to Rosenthaler Platz

Working student essentials

What this Design working student role in Berlin means for you: the weekly-hours rules, the social-contribution perks, and what international students should check before applying.

Weekly hours

Working students may work up to 20 hours a week during the semester and full-time during the breaks. Staying within this keeps your student status and the Werkstudent benefits.

Working student rules

Social contributions

Under the Werkstudentenprivileg you're exempt from health, care and unemployment insurance contributions — only pension insurance applies. That leaves more net pay than a regular job.

Check your insurance

International students

Non-EU students can work 140 full or 280 half days per year (raised from 120/240 in March 2024). A working student contract usually fits within this — confirm the exact limits printed on your residence permit.
