ACD & 3D Designer, Experiential

Full-time

Brand Apart

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR_
We’re looking for an ACD & 3D Designer, Experiential who leads with vision and designs with care — crafting spaces that inspire connection, spark emotion, and leave a lasting impact. Someone who thinks in dimensions, translates content into form, and brings both creative vision and executional craft to the table.
This role helps shape experiential direction from pitch to production, partnering with cross-functional teams, external collaborators, and clients to bring brand experiences to life. While the ACD will help inﬂuence and elevate ideas, they do so within a broader internal creative vision, under the guidance of the Group Creative Director.
This role is fueled by curiosity — the kind that seeks fresh ideas, questions the expected, and pushes creative boundaries. The ideal candidate thrives in the in-between, where ideas are still forming and possibilities are wide open. They ﬁnd energy in shaping large-scale environments as well as crafting the micro-moments that make an experience unforgettable.
At its core, this role is about visual storytelling — transforming strategy, content, and space into immersive moments that invite curiosity, spark connection, and leave a lasting impression.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES_
Creative Drive Creative Vision: Partner with the Group Creative Director to deﬁne creative direction while balancing brand integrity, client goals, production feasibility, and budget realities.
Maintain Creative Standards: Align with project leadership to ensure all concepts and designs reﬂect Brand Apart’s overarching creative vision and standards.
Shape Immersive Experiences: Support the development of immersive brand experiences and physical environments from ideation through execution.
Translate Story into Space: Interpret messaging, storytelling, and event themes into spatial narratives — translating story into experience through environments, installations, and intentional design moments.
Design Holistically: Design across the full environment — considering installations, signage, storytelling touchpoints, furniture, food & beverage, and transitional spaces.
Visualize + Present Concepts: Communicate ideas through sketching, mood boards, and 3D renderings that clearly articulate creative intent.
Integrate Brand + Graphics: Collaborate with graphic design to ensure brand visuals are seamlessly integrated into physical environments.
Collaborate with Creative Teams: Share creative ownership with Designers, shaping visual storytelling together as a team.
Build Client-Facing Tools: Develop creative playbooks, presentation decks, and client-facing design documentation that bring the work to life with clarity.
Support External Partners: Liaise with external collaborators (e.g. fabricators, tech vendors, consultants) to support and elevate creative direction.
EXECUTION_
Lead Spatial Design Development: Design and develop all spatial elements of large-scale environments — from ﬂoor plans and elevations to materials, lighting, and spatial storytelling.
Collaborate with Production Partners: Source and collaborate with best-in-class fabricators, technology partners, and production teams to deliver top-tier creative.
Own the Design Handoﬀ: Lead the design handoﬀ process, ensuring internal teams and external partners have the direction, documentation, and clarity needed to execute.
Stay Close to the Build: Engage deeply in the build process — from technical reviews and shop visits to installations and walkthroughs.
Align Scope + Logistics: Partner with Experience Producers and Project Leads to align timelines, budgets, and deliverables — identifying risks early and oﬀering smart, creative solutions.
Present + Reﬁne Work: Present ideas to internal and external stakeholders, incorporating feedback while maintaining alignment with creative vision.
Design Resourcefully: Use existing Brand Apart décor, furniture, and assets resourcefully — extending their life and creatively reimagining them when appropriate.
SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE_
Lead as a Creative Partner: Own your role as a collaborative creative leader, working alongside designers, strategists, contractors, and producers under the direction of the Group Creative Director.
Translate Client Goals Creatively: Champion internal creative standards while translating client goals through Brand Apart’s unique lens.
Deliver Exceptional Experiences: Deliver experiential work that is strategically grounded, beautifully executed, and emotionally resonant.
Build Thoughtful Storytelling: Translate story and strategy into spatial storytelling that supports key content and engages every guest.
Inspire and Align Teams: Foster creative alignment, accountability, and collaboration at every stage.
Communicate with Conﬁdence: Present ideas with clarity and conviction —connecting concept to impact in ways that build conﬁdence and excitement.
Stay Calm Under Pressure: Proactively identify creative or logistical challenges and respond with ﬂexibility and composure.
Show Up in the Process: Participate in team rhythms — from brainstorms and internal reviews to client check-ins and post-event recaps.
Lead On-Site Direction: Lead on-site creative direction to ensure the ﬁnal environment reﬂects the original vision with care and craft.
Prioritize Sustainability: Advocate for sustainable, resourceful design practices whenever possible.
Drive Future Work: Support new ideas, creative pitches, and concept development for future experiential projects.
Explore New Tools + Partners: Seek innovative vendors, materials, tech tools, and collaborators to evolve our approach.
Mentor Junior Creatives: Mentor junior creatives while maintaining a hands-on approach when the work calls for it.
REQUIRED SKILLS & EXPERIENCE_
7–10+ years of experience in experiential design, environmental design, event production, or related creative ﬁelds.
Proven experience leading projects from concept through installation — including pop-ups, conferences, activations, and immersive brand storytelling.
Strong conceptual and visual communication skills — from sketching and rendering to presenting strategic rationale.
Proﬁciency in Adobe Creative Suite; working knowledge of SketchUp, Rhino, or other 3D design and rendering tools.
Experience collaborating with fabricators, architects, and production partners to bring complex spatial ideas to life.
A portfolio that showcases bold, strategic, and beautifully executed creative environments.
Excellent verbal and visual communication skills — with the ability to clearly explain design decisions to both creative and non-creative audiences.
Passion for immersive storytelling and a drive to create experiences that move people.
