Art Director

About Us

Established in 1997, Pandiscio Green is a full-service, multi-disciplinary design studio specializing in brand creation, strategy, graphic design, and creative direction. We partner with clients across luxury real estate, hospitality, food & beverage, art, and culture.

We are seeking a highly conceptual, focused, and curious Art Director to join our team. This hybrid role based out of our New York or Palo Alto office is ideal for someone who moves fluidly between autonomous design work and creative leadership. The Art Director is equally comfortable crafting refined visual identities, shaping brand strategy, writing briefs for photographers, managing client relationships, and representing the studio with clarity and confidence.

• Lead brand concept development, visual exploration, and execution across multiple projects
• Serve as a primary point of contact for assigned clients, managing expectations, scope, schedules, budgets, and contract considerations
• Maintain a clear creative vision from concept through execution—building iconic brands with cohesive identity systems, confident art direction, and thoughtful detail
• Craft compelling, concise presentations that are as considered and provocative as the work itself
• Guide and manage designers with a calm, clear, and collaborative leadership style
• Liaise with partners and collaborators (developers, hospitality groups, architects, photographers, fabricators) to ensure excellence at every stage
• Lead design production across digital, print, signage, and environmental applications with the highest standards of execution
• Maintain an active curiosity for culture, design, and branding—ensuring the work remains distinctive, timeless, and never trend-driven

• 5–7 years of experience at top-tier studios or in-house creative teams within luxury real estate, hospitality, lifestyle, or cultural sectors
• A refined visual sensibility and elevated typographic instincts—your taste is evident in everything you produce
• Confident presenting and defending ideas in front of clients with patience, personality, and humility
• Able to think several steps ahead—pushing ideas further while knowing when to edit, refine, or abandon work in service of clarity, schedule, and business realities
• Mastery of Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop) and Figma
• Curious and experimental across both tactile design (hand sketching, printmaking, texture creation) and motion (logo animation, kinetic typography, moving imagery)
• Intermediate experience in After Effects and Premiere
• Genuine interest and working knowledge of generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Visual Electric, Synthesia, Sora)
• Equally adept at building a strategic deck, designing a hotel keycard, or setting a book with disciplined typographic systems
• Advanced knowledge of print production and UX/UI best practices
• Thoughtful, humble, and earnest—you seek beauty, clarity, and impact in everything you do
• Someone who moves with the speed of lightning and the precision of a Swiss clock

• Experience with motion design or creative direction for photography and video
• Familiarity with residential real estate development and/or hospitality
• A deep appreciation for language, writing, naming, and editorial storytelling
• Working knowledge of architectural software (AutoCAD, Rhino, Sketch Up)
• Fluency with visual research platforms such as Cosmos, Savee, Hypra Studio, Death To Stock, and similar

• Hybrid flexibility with a home base in our Palo Alto or NYC office
• Paid time off and-wide breaks
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Mentorship, growth, and a supportive team environment
• Opportunities for domestic and international travel for projects and industry events
• A chance to help shape a studio defining what’s next in luxury, design, and brand
