Be honest and clear, it doesn't matter what your title was so much as what you did. If your title was intern, but you were doing the job of designer (or whatever the role), then the experience is yours.
Each project in your portfolio is different, just be clear about what your role was. Dig?
So to me, it sounds like you've had 5 years experience (in your brief description of what you did), and I suggest saying so. The title doesn't matter as much as the role you held.
If you were designing for 2 years and working in a coffee shop the other 3 years, then you have 2 years experience. Your experience is the amount of time you've spent as a designer, not the time you spent in a particular title.
