[Hiring] Experience Designer @Deeplocal

Role Description

We’re seeking a junior Experience Designer to join our creative team, with a strong foundation in 3D, spatial, industrial, environmental, or experiential design. What matters most is that you can translate ideas into experiences people can see, touch, move through, and interact with.

This is not a traditional UI/UX role, and it is not a strict graphic, motion, or digital design position. Deeplocal’s work lives in physical space. We are looking for someone who can think beyond screens and communicate ideas through spatial, physical, interactive, and human-centered experiences.

• Your portfolio should show strong creative thinking, visual taste, and evidence that you can work with physical interaction.
• You care deeply about design quality, from the high-level concept to the smallest detail.
• You are curious about how things work, how people move through spaces, and how physical, visual, digital, and interactive elements come together to create an experience.
• You may have a primary creative discipline, but you are excited to work across disciplines and learn new tools, methods, and ways of making.
• You enjoy participating in cross-functional teams, balancing aesthetic considerations with engineering, technology, fabrication, brand, and user experience.
• You can communicate ideas visually and verbally, whether through sketches, diagrams, storyboards, renders, references, mockups, writing, prototypes, or decks.
• You can handle multiple projects simultaneously, keeping track of deadlines and self-directing your workload and priorities.
• You are aesthetically agile and can design for a variety of brands with different styles, tones, palettes, and voices.
• You are eager to develop creative concepts that integrate thoughtful user experience, physical interaction, and strong storytelling.
• You like getting your hands dirty, using rapid prototyping, low-fidelity models, tests, sketches, or mockups to prove out design concepts.
• You have 2–4 years of experience, preferably in a creative agency, experiential studio, design studio, architecture/interiors practice, production environment, or similar setting.

Qualifications

• Experiential Design: Ability to think through physical experience: form, materiality, interaction, layout, flow, behavior, sequence, and user journey.
• Concept Development: Ability to craft cross-discipline ideas and support them with visuals, language, references, and clear rationale.
• Spatial + Physical Communication: Ability to show how an idea works in space through sketches, diagrams, renderings, models, prototypes, storyboards, plans, sections, physical mockups, or other visual methods.
• Concept Visualization: Ability to communicate abstract concepts through compelling visual mockups using various media.
• 3D Modeling: Strong proficiency in at least one 3D modeling environment such as Rhino, SketchUp, Blender, Cinema 4D, Fusion, or similar.
• Design Craft: Strong taste, strong composition, and an ability to make ideas feel considered, polished, and intentional.
• Interaction Awareness: Interest in how people engage with physical experiences, objects, interfaces, environments, and technology.
• Hybrid Candidates: Ideal candidates are those who can contribute across several disciplines.

Requirements

• Collaborate with Creative Directors, Designers, Strategists, and Creative Technologists to develop concepts that are inventive, strategic, and meaningful for audiences.
• Contribute to ideas that live in physical space, including installations, environments, objects, interactive moments, exhibits, activations, and brand experiences.
• Translate creative concepts into physical form through sketching, 3D modeling, rendering, and prototyping.
• Concept, develop, and diagram user experiences through storyboards, flowcharts, spatial diagrams, journey maps, or other tools.
• Create compelling ways to communicate ideas using the media that best fits the concept.
• Work closely with creative, technology, engineering, fabrication, and production teams to shape ideas that are ambitious but achievable.
• Contribute across project phases, from early concepting and pitch development through design refinement, pre-production, and production.
• Stay curious about culture, emerging technology, materials, interaction patterns, visual trends, and new tools.

Benefits

• Competitive salary range: $50,000 - $84,000 USD.
• Individual compensation varies based on job-related factors, including location, business needs, level of responsibility, experience, and qualifications.
• Competitive benefits package.
