Experience Designer — Mid LevelPortland, OR · Full-time

About the role

We’re a small design studio working across branded environments, experiential campaigns, and spatial storytelling. You’ll join a tight-knit team of designers, strategists, and makers who care deeply about the quality of their work and the people they make it with.
As a mid-level Experience Designer, you’ll take ownership of projects from concept through fabrication — translating brand strategy into physical and environmental design that people actually feel. Working closely with the Creative Director, Lead Designers, and cross-functional teams, you’ll bring strong creative and technical abilities to a highly collaborative environment.

What you’ll do

• Lead design development on environmental, spatial, and experiential projects
• Collaborate with the Creative Director, Lead Designers, project managers, and clients to align on design vision, requirements, and timelines
• Create wayfinding systems, signage, and branded environment graphics
• Produce detailed drawings, specifications, and production-ready files
• Troubleshoot and resolve design challenges throughout the lifecycle of a project
• Manage your own project timelines and communicate progress clearly to the team
• Contribute ideas in studio brainstorms and new business pitches

What we’re looking for

• 3–6 years of experience in environmental, spatial, or experiential design
• A portfolio of completed, built projects — not just concepts
• Strong knowledge of spatial design principles and materiality
• Proficiency in SketchUp, Enscape, Adobe Creative Suite, and Figma
• Familiarity with fabrication methods, materials, and production specs
• A clear communicator with clients, vendors, and teammates alike
• Comfortable juggling multiple projects at varying scales
• A genuine passion for design and a sharp eye for detail

What we offer

• A collaborative, creative studio environment where your work genuinely matters
• Health insurance
• Paid vacation and 40 hours of sick time per year
• Holiday pay
• Training and development support
• Hybrid/work-from-home flexibility

Working conditions

This is a fast-paced studio environment with shifting priorities and timelines. The role involves intensive computer work on Mac-based systems, including extended keyboard and mouse use. Occasional overtime may be required based on project needs.
