Our wider network of freelancers:
In very busy periods, or when clients require an expertise outside the scope of our core team and associates, we may complement our project teams with freelancers. We have a wide network of excellent and experienced freelancers in both UK and NL. Freelance staff always works from our offices and under our supervision. We have sufficient infrastructure in place to garantee smooth and agile operations, and of course exclusive access to data from specific clients.
Hall of fame:
Some people who worked in our core team in the past deserve a special note on this page. They contributed greatly to the projects they collaborated on, and they were a joy to work with. Thank you!

Interns:
STBY have recently hosted interns at both our UK and Amsterdam offices. Though we don’t run a formal internship programme, we’re always interested in hearing from bright, enthusiastic, creative students who want to learn more about design research and service design. This usually takes between 4-6 months, as we like our interns to be involved in all aspects of what we do; once you’re comfortable with the basics, we’ll ask you to contribute to one of our ongoing projects.
If you’d like to know more then send some examples of your work along with a short introduction to mail@stby.eu, and let us know whether you’re interested in interning in Amsterdam or in London. Ideally you should have some background experience in both design and research, but if you think you could contribute in another way then let us know how.
