As you all know, our blog is a huge part of what sets CP apart, and it’s time to take it even further. We are looking for someone to help develop and create new stories and tutorials for our blog, from coming up with creative concepts to creating beautiful visuals to writing clear and easy-to-follow tutorials and projects.

While we’ve had paid internships before, this is the first one focused entirely on blogging. If you’re a creative person who loves writing, sewing, creating moodboards, styling, and taking photos, this could be a great fit for you.

You will be working out of our studio in Portland, OR. This is a full time position through the summer (June – August, exact times are flexible). This is a paid, temporary, entry-level position. For more info and to see how to apply, visit our jobs page!
