Graphic Designer; Senior

We are Acrylicize, a global creative studio powered by art and culture, inspired by stories of people and place. Our multidisciplinary team of artists, designers, project managers, and strategists create and curate art that activates spaces for some of the world’s leading brands and institutions. Experts in using art and design to drive positive change for people and planet, delivering unmissable moments that get everyone talking.

With studios in New York and London, we offer creative impact on a global scale.

As a Senior Graphic Designer at Acrylicize, you will be contributing to the entire lifecycle of a project, from concept through to completion, working closely with the wider Design Team, Production Team and fabrication partners. This role requires a conceptual thinker that can confidently articulate ideas and bring them to life in a diverse range of spaces. Previous experience in illustration and environmental graphic design is crucial and we’d love to see examples of these projects and your creative process in your portfolio.

We give Designers the freedom and space to play, there are client deliverables to meet within our Creative Process but how you get to these is up to you.

Phase 1:
Discover – Understanding the brief, the client and the space. Researching themes and narratives to inspire the designs.

Phase 2:
Design – Creating concepts derived from the chosen theme for the space. We call these idea cards, they are loose, sketchy and conceptual. The chosen ideas are then refined further.

Phase 3:
Develop – Developing the chosen ideas, considering materiality and creating fully formed designs ready to be artworked, fabricated and installed.

Phase 4:
Detail – Work with the Production Team to finalize marks, specifications and production files.

Phase 5:
Deliver – Coordination with the PM Team for final handoff and installation.
