About the Role
We’re looking for an Event Designer who can turn ideas into experiences people actually remember. This role sits at the intersection of creative, culture, and execution. You’ll concept, design, and help bring to life immersive environments for brand activations, creator events, and large-scale experiential moments. This is not just about making things look good. It’s about designing how people feel, move, engage, and share. What You’ll Do Concept & Creative Development

- Translate brand objectives into physical experiences, environments, and guest journeys
- Create mood boards, look & feel decks, and spatial concepts
Experience & Spatial Design

- Ideate interactive moments, installations, and content-worthy touchpoints
- Collaborate on stage design, scenic elements, signage, and branded environments
Production Collaboration
- Work closely with producers, fabricators, and vendors to bring concepts to life
- Ensure designs are feasible, on budget, and scalable
- Participate in site visits, install oversight, and on-site execution as needed
Brand & Creator Integration
- Design experiences that are culturally relevant and creator-friendly
- Build moments that drive organic content and social sharing
- Ensure brand storytelling is seamlessly integrated throughout the experience
What We’re Looking For
- 3–7+ years in event design, experiential, environmental design, or related field
- Strong portfolio showcasing events, pop-ups, brand activations, or spatial design
- Proficiency in tools like Adobe Creative Suite, SketchUp, Rhino, or similar
- Ability to think both creatively and practically (ideas that can actually get built)
- Strong understanding of materials, fabrication, and production processes
- Experience working with fast-paced timelines and multiple projects
Bonus Points
- Experience designing for creator/influencer events
- Knowledge of fabrication techniques and scenic production
- Familiarity with 3D rendering tools (Cinema 4D, Blender, etc.)
- Background in retail, beauty, fashion, or cultural events
What Success Looks Like
- Experiences that feel intentional from entrance to exit
- Designs that are both visually striking and operationally smart
- Moments that guests naturally want to capture and share
- Concepts that translate clearly from deck → build → real life
Why Join Us
- You’ll be part of a team that believes events should do more than exist. They should create real moments of impact. We design where culture, creators, and commerce intersect.
