Senior Designer; and Visual Design

OVERVIEW

We're a creative technology agency that designs and builds immersive, interactive experiences where digital and physical worlds collide. From park-wide gamification platforms and connected retail environments to multi-sensory brand activations and AI-driven installations, our work lives at the intersection of bold creative vision and emerging technology. We're a purposely uncommon team -- equal parts experience designers, creative technologists, and storytellers -- with a mission to reimagine how people live, work, shop, and play.

You'll be a senior creative force shaping experiences across client engagements and internal concept work. This isn't a pure UX/UI role -- you'll move fluidly between experience design, visual craft, and creative concepting. One week you might be designing interaction systems for a connected retail environment; the next, developing visual direction for an immersive brand activation or crafting storyboards that sell a big idea to a client.

You'll work closely with strategy, creative technology, and engineering to translate ambitious concepts into intuitive, visually compelling experiences -- across mobile apps, spatial interfaces, installations, and connected systems.

• Design end-to-end experiences: user flows, interaction models, wireframes, and high-fidelity UI across mobile, web, and experiential platforms.
• Develop visual design direction -- mood boards, visual systems, and brand-aligned aesthetics (typography, color, iconography, motion language) -- that elevate every project.
• Build and maintain design systems and component libraries that ensure consistency and scalability across experiences.

• Contribute to creative concepting alongside strategy and creative direction, shaping ideas from the ground up -- not just executing on briefs handed down.
• Design compelling pitch decks, storyboards, and visual narratives that bring concepts to life for clients.
• Explore emerging platforms, technologies, and experiential formats to push what's possible in our work.
• Stay current on UI, UX, and interaction trends across creative technology, experiential design, and emerging platforms

• Partner with creative technologists and engineers to ensure designs are feasible, performant, and beautifully implemented across physical-digital touchpoints (installations, kiosks, NFC, BLE, connected devices).
• Participate in design reviews, providing thoughtful critique and guidance to elevate the team's overall creative quality.
• Lead experience and UI design across client projects, from early concept through detailed execution.

• 6--10+ years in design roles spanning UI, visual design, and experience design -- ideally within a creative agency, digital product studio, or experiential environment.
• A portfolio that shows range -- interaction thinking and systems-level design alongside strong visual craft. Experience designing for complex or non-traditional interfaces beyond standard marketing websites.
• Familiarity with experiential design, interactive installations, or connected-device ecosystems strongly preferred.
• Advanced Figma proficiency for UI design, prototyping, and design system management.
• Working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite for supporting production needs.
• Strong visual design sensibility -- a sharp eye for typography, layout, color, and composition, with deep care for the details.
• Clear communication -- Ability to concept and art-direct, not just design screens. You articulate design rationale with conviction to internal teams and client stakeholders. Comfort with ambiguity -- you thrive in fast-moving environments where the brief is evolving, and you're helping define the solution.
• AI-curious -- you're already weaving AI tools into your everyday design process, whether for ideation, visual exploration, prototyping, or production. You see them as a creative accelerant, and you're genuinely curious about where they're headed.

• Motion, animation, video editing skills
• Remote-friendly role, with preference for candidates based in or near San Diego
