Job Description
Axiom Studio
The Axiom Studio, located at NE 6th and Davis, is a team of creatives responsible for delivering extraordinary design solutions for retail marketing, brand activations, permanent environments, fixtures, and more. As designs are brought to life, the Studio team works in tandem with our fabrication team to produce exceptional custom builds. Our Studio is a fast-paced, collaborative environment that values innovation, work-life balance, and personal growth.
The Role
The Senior Designer develops unique, original designs and visualizations for a wide variety of brands, environments, and products. They specialize in experience design and have a strong background in retail campaigns and storytelling. This designer will lead multiple projects simultaneously and mentor junior designers, but sometimes lead projects solo– from concept to production. They are responsible for creating 2D and 3D visuals, client presentations, and production files for print and fabrication.
You
You are a leader with a passion for all things design who thrives in a fast-paced team environment. Someone who owns their projects and is an expert at self-managing their time and workload. You quickly digest a brief, problem-solve, and visualize solutions. You understand target audience needs, design trends and production limitations, and apply them to the creative process. You maintain a deep understanding of Axiom’s brand guidelines and standards. As a design team leader, you take ownership of projects, mentoring junior designers along the way. An ability to lead presentations, as well as communicate quickly and constructively to external and internal stakeholders, makes working with you easy and collaborative. Work is delivered within established deadlines and you are proactive in communicating anticipated delays or disruptions.
Beyond working and strategizing with the Studio team, you also work with shop teams to deliver innovative, practical, and cost-effective design solutions. You enjoy researching and exploring current design, art, sculpture, and technology to further develop your design skills and sensibility. A curious learner, you are keen to investigate and experiment with new digital and manual processes for both designing and presenting.

Measures of Success
