Summary
We're seeking a Graphic Designer with solid hands‑on experience to create visual assets for trade show exhibits, event environments, and experiential marketing campaigns. This role requires someone who can work independently on projects from concept through client approval, translate and repurpose client‑supplied brand assets effectively, and occasionally develop original design concepts within established brand guidelines. This position will support our 3D Exhibits team. The position follows an in‑person schedule working full‑time in‑office and/or show‑site based out of Schaumburg, IL.

Take client‑provided logos, photography, brand assets, and style guides and adapt them effectively for exhibit and event applications

Develop new design concepts and layouts within a client's existing brand guidelines when no pre‑built assets are available

Translate brand guidelines into cohesive visual concepts for physical spaces, offering creative input beyond execution

Partner with exhibit designers, project managers, and account teams to align graphics to achieve client goals

Present design concepts for client review and incorporate feedback through to final approval

Adapt and scale existing brand assets across varied booth sizes and configurations

Manage 3–5 concurrent projects under tight deadlines, moving on to new projects once files are handed off to production

3–5 years of graphic design experience, with meaningful exposure to trade show, exhibit, or experiential marketing work

Demonstrated ability to work with existing client brand assets and guidelines, as well as generating original concepts when needed

Strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign)

Solid understanding of large‑format print production standards and file setup (bleed, resolution, color profiles) for handoff to a production team

Strong working knowledge of color management, including Pantone matching, CMYK/RGB conversions, ICC profiles, and how color behaves across different substrates and surfaces

Comfortable reading and working from CAD/architectural drawings or booth renderings

Proven ability to manage multiple projects and shifting priorities under deadline pressure

Strong typography, layout, and brand‑consistency skills

Portfolio demonstrating a range of exhibits, signage, or spatial design work, including examples of working within existing brand systems
