Role Overview

The Experiential Designer is a hands-on expert charged with converting approved creative concepts into precise, to-scale 3D models and visual representations of experiential spaces and custom elements.

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, collaborative, and skilled at producing clear, build-ready visuals from established creative directions.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate sketches, mood boards, CAD files, and references into clear spatial visualizations.
• Reconstruct existing real-world venues using blueprints, measurements, and photography from site visits.
• Model important elements with precise proportions and spatial relationships to aid client approvals and fabrication bids.
• Generate high-quality renderings, still images, and walkthroughs that effectively communicate the creative vision.
• Work closely with Creative Directors, Art Directors, and Designers to ensure alignment with the approved concept, including materials and finishes.
• Proactively propose creative design enhancements that support the Creative Director's vision.
• Present work in live screen-sharing sessions for internal reviews and feedback.
• Deliver well-organized 3D files and exports that are fabrication-ready.
• Manage multiple projects efficiently under tight deadlines while maintaining precision and quality.

Qualifications

• Minimum of 4 years experience in 3D design focused on experiential, environmental, exhibit, or architectural fields.
• Proficient with industry-standard 3D software tools such as SketchUp, Cinema 4D, Rhino, or similar.
• Experienced in creating presentation-quality renderings and walkthroughs.
• Ability to interpret architectural drawings, onsite measurements, and real-world limitations.
• Strong focus on detail and accuracy in scale.
• Comfortable working within remote, distributed teams.
• Effective communicator who can convey spatial concepts to both creative and non-technical audiences.
• Interested in or knowledgeable about AI platforms and their integration into 3D design pipelines.
