About the Role
The Associate Art Director on our spatial team is an emerging spatial designer with an exceptional creative eye and strong visual instincts. This role exists to support the development of physical brand experiences, acting as a bridge between high-level creative concepts and tangible environments. You will help translate ideas into mood boards, floor plans, 3D models, sourcing references, and client-facing presentation materials.
In this hands-on creative support role, you will dive deep into aesthetic research, details, and spatial possibilities. You will collaborate closely with Art Directors, Creative Directors, Graphic Designers, Strategists, and Producers to explore ideas and clearly communicate your thinking. The ideal candidate is curious, highly visual, and eager to learn the full process of experiential design, from concept to production. You will be responsible for assisting in the creation of floor plans, furniture layouts, and spatial diagrams, while also supporting onsite build monitoring, styling, and bringing spaces to life.
