NASO AT HOME

Creative Brief | 2026 | Duration c3 Months

About the Opportunity

NASO AT HOME is inviting one creative to join us for a 3-month creative internship based at our studio and shop. This opportunity is designed for a creative who is interested in exploring the relationship between art, nature, scent, product design, and storytelling within a home and lifestyle brand.

The internship opportunity is being shared with Sandra, Founder of TBD Art Club, based at The Village Creative in Lavington, with the intention of identifying one suitable creative from the community to take on the placement.

The selected creative will be based at the NASO AT HOME studio and shop from Monday to Thursday, 10:00 AM–6:00 PM, throughout the three-month internship.

The Creative Brief

The creative will work directly with Yasmine, Director of NASO AT HOME, on a specific creative brief for an upcoming nature and floral-themed collection.

The collection will be developed as a distinct creative world within NASO AT HOME and will have its own:

• Product identity
• Label
• Packaging
• Visual language
• Creative storytelling

The collection will be titled:

Scent ya Nuru

The creative will be expected to interpret the themes of nature, flowers, light, beauty, scent, and the Kenyan environment through their own artistic and creative perspective.

The project will be practical and exploratory, allowing the selected creative to contribute ideas while working within the direction and requirements of the collection brief.

Areas of Work

Depending on the creative’s strengths and the development of the collection, their work may include:

• Developing visual concepts and creative ideas for the collection
• Exploring floral and botanical forms, patterns, textures, and motifs
• Creating original artwork or illustrations
• Contributing to product labels and packaging concepts
• Developing visual elements that can be applied across the collection
• Exploring colour, composition, typography, and materiality
• Creating artwork suitable for physical products and packaging
• Supporting the creative storytelling and presentation of the collection
• Participating in product development and creative discussions
• Developing a final body of work or creative project that contributes directly to the Scent ya Nuru collection

The selected creative will be required to work from the NASO AT HOME studio and shop:

Days: Monday – Thursday
Time: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Duration: 3 months
Location: NASO AT HOME Studio & Shop

This is an in-person creative internship, and applicants should have the capacity to commit to the full schedule for the duration of the placement.

The creative will work closely with Yasmine, Director of NASO AT HOME, who will provide the creative brief, direction, feedback, and overall supervision of the project.

NASO AT HOME will provide:

• Transport support for the required studio days
• Lunch during working days

• Exposure to the day-to-day workings of a creative product and lifestyle brand

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for a creative who is:

• Passionate about art and creative expression
• Interested in nature, flowers, design, or visual storytelling
• Curious and willing to experiment
• Comfortable receiving creative direction and feedback
• Able to develop ideas independently
• Interested in seeing creative work translated into physical products
• Reliable and committed to the agreed working schedule
• Comfortable working within a small, hands-on creative business
• Interested in learning about the process from concept → artwork → product → packaging → retail

The creative does not need to have extensive professional experience. We are particularly interested in someone with strong creative potential, curiosity, discipline, and a willingness to learn and develop their practice through a real commercial project.

Expected Outcome

By the end of the three-month internship, the creative should have contributed meaningfully to the development of Scent ya Nuru and gained practical experience in taking an artistic idea from an initial concept through to a commercially considered product collection.

The internship will conclude with a review of the creative’s work, contribution, development, and overall experience.

The Bigger Idea

Scent ya Nuru is an opportunity to explore what happens when an artist’s interpretation of nature becomes part of the everyday experience of a home.

We are looking for someone who can bring their own creative voice to this process while learning how that voice can translate into objects, scent, packaging, storytelling, and spaces.
