Czarnowski is one of the four studios of the Czarnowski Collective. It combines operations, strategy, design, and fabrication to create exhibits and events that engage communities, generate brand enthusiasm, and educate consumers. It’s been over 75 years since we opened our doors, but we’re still not resting on our reputation or accolades. We’re wondering “what if...” anticipating what’s next and embracing our role within the Czarnowski Collective as forward-thinkers for forward-thinking brands.

Joining the Czarnowski Collective means the opportunity to be more than a number, more than a job title, more than a spectator. We are a collective of dreamers and thinkers, doers, and makers…and we’re searching for more of the same to join the ranks.

The Purpose:

Czarnowski is looking for a Creative Director to lead, inspire, and help oversee design for our Dallas Design Studio. We are seeking a talented designer, natural leader, and motivating force who brings both vision and execution to the creative process.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong conceptual and executional design skills, exceptional problem-solving ability, and a persuasive presentation style. You must be able to communicate ideas clearly and drive a full-spectrum design process—from concept to completion—across all creative disciplines, including 3D, 2D, materials, engineering, and production.

We’re looking for someone who not only understands current display construction methods and embraces interactive storytelling, but also has a deep understanding of the customer’s consumer journey—how people engage with a brand before, during, and after an experience. You should be able to craft compelling stories that meet audiences where they are and guide them through emotionally resonant, multi-dimensional experiences that leave lasting impressions.

The Job:

• Lead and organize overall project flow, deadlines and presentation strategy with Executive Creative Director’s guidance to internal teams as well as clients
• Communicate with account lead on the project to meet deadlines and design objectives to ensure they are within budget
• Design dynamic solutions that clearly communicate brand goals, and strategy
• Ensure presentations deliver the objectives of the brief and clearly articulate design solutions
• Help facilitate feedback and direction to junior members or other members on the team
• Communicate clear layouts for print production, art files, estimating and production documentation
• Manage the handoff process from Design to engineering through execution
• Present and check in with Executive Creative Director throughout the duration of the project
• Ability to effectively present and communicate to management and clients
• Inspire the team through energy and optimism, pushing the envelope to advance the program and its goals
• Some traveling may be required as well as extended hours at night, weekends and during holidays

The Person:

• BFA in industrial or graphic design or equivalent
• 8 + years of industry experience
• Good understanding of technologies, materials & techniques
• Ability to understand a brand at its core and then translate it into other experiential mediums
• Exceptional design aesthetics and ability to constantly adapt to meet a breadth of brand styles and mediums
• Exceptional interpersonal communication skills across all mediums
• High performance/high productivity mentality
• Experience working in large format graphics & 3-dimensional environments
• Mastery of design tools including 3DS Max, Rhino, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign
• Understanding of photography and image manipulation techniques
• Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively with a creative team
• Organizational skills
• Exceptional time management skills - ability to balance multiple projects at one time while ensuring quality and consistency.
• 3D knowledge is a plus

Mandatory Application Materials:

• Current resume
• A design portfolio including completed projects that clearly demonstrate the skills outlined above

What we offer:

• Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits effective within 30 days (or less) of your start date
• 401K matching with no vesting period (you are fully vested as of day 1)
• Generous Paid Time Off (PTO)
