The preferred candidate will have an interest in working in a dynamic and collaborative global design environment with a diverse range of public assembly building types; including the design of sports venues, convention centers, community buildings and transportation facilities.
We are seeking a passionate, creative, and engaged experiential graphic designer to join us in a dynamic and collaborative design atmosphere. Applicants must possess exceptional design, organizational and technical abilities.
We're seeking a conceptual thinker and spatial storyteller-an experiential designer who brings environments to life through narrative, emotion, and visual language. You think in graphic systems, understand how story moves through space, and can translate abstract ideas into experiences that resonate. You're comfortable shaping the early stages of an idea-exploring metaphor, context, and meaning-and working collaboratively to evolve that vision across brand, architecture, and experience.
What Your Day Could Consist Of:
- Create impactful experiential graphic design solutions for high-profile national and international client brands. Design services may include experiential branding, placemaking and sponsorship for a variety of entertainment, hospitality, and sports projects.
- Translate brand strategy into spatial expression. Through close collaboration with clients, discover opportunities to amplify the character of a place, conveying the brand's identity in imaginative and compelling ways within venues and facilities.
- Manage construction documents and large bodies of information for projects from concept through fabrication and install.
- Exceptional branding and experiential graphic design sensibilities.
- Strong grasp of spatial design, typography, color, and scale in the built environment.
- Demonstrates the ability to push innovation, solve problems creatively and engage in a dynamic collaborative design environment.
- Detail oriented, learns quickly and adapts to new responsibilities.
- Understands how to read architectural plans, elevations and details a plus.
- Proven experience managing multiple projects simultaneously and staying on schedule.
- Desire to work collaboratively with architects, interior designers, and planners. We believe that successful place-making demands an integrated analysis across many disciplines.
- Strong work ethic, with demonstrated efficiency, flexibility, and a positive spirit.
- Strong communication and presentation abilities.
- High level of proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Acrobat), and MS Office required.
- Focused on the future and bringing to life amazing projects within a dynamic company culture.
- Experience working on branded environments for museums, retail, or events a plus.
- 5-8+ years of experience in graphic design in a studio environment.
- Bachelor's Degree (Or Equivalent) in graphic design preferred.
- Travel will be required.
- Occasional overtime may be required
