• Create environmental graphics, scenic elements, and merchandising details that bring spaces to life.
• Partner with internal teams and external vendors to ensure clear communication, quality execution, and smooth delivery.
• Present work to clients and teammates, incorporating feedback and occasionally traveling for site visits or installs (1–3x per year).

What We’re Looking For

• 5 – 8 years of experience in a similar role
• SketchUp as a primary tool
• Proficiency in Figma and/or Adobe Creative Cloud
• Rendering skills are a plus
• Strong portfolio showing solid fundamentals, attention to detail, inventive design thinking and high-level execution in brand experience work
• A collaborative team player that is highly motivated, pro‑active and positive.
• Excellent organization and time management skills to meet deadlines across multiple projects in a remote work setting.
• Illustration, animation or spatial design side hustles

The salary range for this position is $90,000 - 110,000 annually, plus comprehensive benefits. Salary is determined by a combination of factors that include qualifications, applicable skills, relevant experience and other budgetary considerations such as location/geography.
