What you’ll do

As a Senior Experience & Retail Designer, you’ll take on our medium to large projects. You’ll combine your understanding of a client's business with your spatial design skills to map out a clear creative strategy, designing physical and retail environments that make a real impact.

Job Responsibilities

Bring big ideas, strong craft, and real-world expertise to our 3D and experiential design projects.

Lead the creative process, from spatial layouts and customer flows to initial sketches, mood boards, and research.

Partner with clients, internal teams, and external makers or architects to make sure your ideas are successfully built and installed.

Design physical spaces and retail environments that connect with visitors and make sense for the brand.

Confidently share your ideas and give constructive, inspiring feedback to others.

Mentor and guide junior designers (including 3D visualisers) to help them grow and improve their work.

Help shape the creative strategy behind our retail and experience projects.

Jump between different projects smoothly, collaborating with client and production teams to keep things running beautifully.

Work closely with graphic and digital designers to make sure the physical space, digital touchpoints, and branding all feel like one cohesive experience.

Keep a positive, collaborative, and professional attitude with your team and clients.

Use AI tools in a smart way to find inspiration and work more efficiently.

What you’ll need

Experience working as a designer in a brand, retail design, or experiential agency.

A clear understanding of how to translate a brand’s personality into a physical, three-dimensional space.

A strong portfolio showing spatial design, material selection, environmental graphics, and great conceptual thinking.

The ability to bring a brand to life using color, type, materials, lighting, and fixtures.

A knack for storytelling and the ability to explain the strategy behind a customer journey.

A finger on the pulse of what’s next in retail, hospitality, and spatial design.

Curiosity about how people interact with physical spaces and technology in the real world.

A genuine passion for design, spaces, and creating great experiences.

Solid skills in 3D modeling and rendering software (like SketchUp, Rhino, Cinema 4D, V-Ray, or Twinmotion), alongside Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and quick hand-sketching to show your ideas.

Experience taking 2D brand designs and successfully adapting them into three dimensions.

We believe the best work happens when we're together, fostering creativity, collaboration, and connection. That's why we’ve adopted a hybrid approach, with teams in the office around four days a week. If you require accommodations or flexibility, please discuss this with the hiring team during the interview process.
