Would you like to get a great deal of responsibility in an early stage start-up on a mission to re-invent Equestrian fashion?

About ALEQUI

Founded by two ex-Googlers, ALEQUI is a data-driven mobile first brand with a mission to modernize equestrian clothing and equipment. The equestrian world is mostly occupied by legacy brands with traditional styles that haven’t changed in a long time. ALEQUI aims to challenge existing players with functional clothing, a more modern look and conscious fashion. 

Up until recently we were focusing on equestrian equipment only. However, since launching our first line of clothing this summer we noticed an increased demand for this segment and it will be our primary focus going forward. In 2020 we grew over 400%.

Re-shaping the brand

We are in the middle of a rebranding process aiming to move away from the traditional equestrian look and position ourselves in the intersection between sports and fashion. As a Graphic Design/Art Director Intern, you will have a lot of responsibility in shaping the brand's visual identity across all channels.
