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.

Purpose of the Role

As our Technical Designer (Senior), you'll play a key role in bridging design intent with technical delivery across our US studio.
