Deliver high-quality work while adapting to quick turnarounds and client feedback

What You Bring

4+ years of design experience in fabrication, environmental graphics, experiential design, or similar field

Expertise in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign and 3D modeling software (SketchUp, Rhino, or similar)

Experience working with licensed IP (style guides, color palettes, following official art direction, submitting concepts & photos, etc.)

Experience creating production-ready files for large-scale graphics, wallcoverings, signage, and themed elements

A solid understanding of materials and fabrication techniques—both hand and digital

Ability to work from architectural plans and understand spatial layouts

Self-starter mindset with strong project management skills and the ability to juggle several moving pieces

Bonus: Familiarity with Character 3D Modeling and Posing, CNC, 3D Printing, or time on the shop floor
