In this role, you would be getting hands-on experience with a design team that works on projects from concept through execution.

Supporting installations will also be part of your role. Additionally, you'll enjoy the opportunity to regularly work and network with a wide variety of global teams to learn about other areas of design that may interest you, such as materiality, product design, and user experience design. This small and mighty team of 10 is comprised of senior and principal designers, a project manager, a leader, and a few interns. We are in constant collaboration as a team and work cross-functionally. Our design group is aesthetically and culturally diverse. We are a flexible and open group of people. We believe you'll learn we are approachable, open to questions, new ideas, and care about your growth and success. Our award-winning team is eager to mentor you.
