This is a hands-on, fast-paced role ideal for someone who enjoys the technical and detail-oriented side of design , while still contributing creatively to the overall experience.

• Create detailed 3D models, layouts, and production-ready files

• Collaborate with production teams to ensure accuracy, feasibility, and build readiness

• Contribute to a collaborative, idea-driven culture where teamwork drives the best outcomes

What We’re Looking For

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design or related field (or equivalent experience)

• 5+ years of relevant design experience preferred

• Strong hands-on design skills with a portfolio demonstrating 3D/exhibit work

• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite and Mac-based workflows

• Experience with 3D modeling tools such as SketchUp, Blender, or similar

• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and time management skills

• Strong attention to detail and ability to own deliverables from concept through execution

Preferred:

• Experience with interpretive design (museums, nature centers, educational or cultural spaces)

• Conceptual sketching ability

• Familiarity with industries such as agriculture, technology, manufacturing, or construction

• Ability to contribute to content development and storytelling

Core Traits:

• Strong listener who can uncover and articulate key ideas
