Bergmeyer designs experiences for several of the world’s most ambitious brands, and we’re looking for a Senior Designer in our Boston
or Columbus office to join us in shaping the future of retail. This talented and resourceful designer will bring a positive, collaborative work style to lead design on projects for our clients. You’ll take ownership of complex projects from concept through construction, mentor team members, and deliver exceptional work across a broad range of consumer environments. The ideal candidate is entrepreneurial, detail-driven, and energized by fast-paced, high-profile work.
We define ourselves as a collaborative because this is the trait that lies at the heart of how we work… Collaboratively.
We are thinkers and doers.
We are visionary and grounded.
We are design-focused and results-oriented.
We don’t believe design happens in a vacuum, nor do we believe in big reveals.
We believe the best solutions are co-authored, and that design is an iterative process.
We like dialogue and debate, and we believe everyone has a voice because there are never any bad ideas.
We put the customers at the heart of everything we create, which means:
- every design is created from a place of relentless curiosity
- we dive deep to inhabit the personas of our end users
- we pressure test our concepts against one metric above all others: have we exceeded expectations of those who experience the spaces we create?
We’re also champions for diversity as a design collaborative and Certified B Corporation, drawing from all experience levels and cultural backgrounds within our team of “Bergies” – intentionally staffing project teams inclusively to represent the diverse perspectives of the world around us.
We tend to do our best work with those that feel the same way
