ACD & 3D Designer, Experiential

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We’re looking for an ACD & 3D Designer, Experiential who leads with vision and designs with care — crafting spaces that inspire connection, spark emotion, and leave a lasting impact. Someone who thinks in dimensions, translates content into form, and brings both creative vision and executional craft to the table.

This role helps shape experiential direction from pitch to production, partnering with cross‑functional teams, external collaborators, and clients to bring brand experiences to life.

This role is fueled by curiosity — the kind that seeks fresh ideas, questions the expected, and pushes creative boundaries. The ideal candidate thrives in the in-between, where ideas are still forming and possibilities are wide open. They find energy in shaping large‑scale environments as well as crafting the micro‑moments that make an experience unforgettable.

At its core, this role is about visual storytelling — transforming strategy, content, and space into immersive moments that invite curiosity, spark connection, and leave a lasting impression.
