• Your portfolio reflects your innate design sense and how you look beyond the assignment or client ask to solve the problem.
• Some agency experience or major retailer background is a plus.
• You’re interested in designing fixtures and illustrating physical environments, and open to tackling other forms of design, including print, websites, and emerging technologies.
• You are as comfortable with team collaboration as explaining your design solutions in client presentations.

• An ability to work under tight deadlines, manage multiple tasks, and quickly learn how to produce design ideas describes you to a T.
