Job description

We are seeking a hybrid Experiential Designer who can work across 2D graphic design and 3D environmental design.


This is not a traditional graphic design role. You must be able to:

  • Concept creatively
  • Design visually
  • And think through how it will actually be built, printed, and experienced in a physical space


What You’ll Do

  • Design trade show booths, stage environments, pop-ups, and branded activations
  • Create 3D renderings and visualizations that communicate scale, materials, lighting, and guest experience
  • Develop mood boards, concepts, and client-facing presentations
  • Design large-format graphics (backdrops, signage, environmental branding, etc.)
  • Build cohesive brand systems across physical and digital environments
  • Prepare production-ready files for print, fabrication, and installation
  • Collaborate with project managers, fabricators, print teams, and producers
  • Review layouts, dimensions, and production details for accuracy
  • Manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment


Required Qualifications

  • 3–5+ years of experience in experiential, environmental, event, or exhibit design
  • Strong portfolio showing both 2D design and 3D spatial work
  • Experience designing for physical environments (booths, stages, retail, branded spaces, etc.)
  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign)
  • Experience with at least one 3D tool (Vectorworks, SketchUp, C4D, Blender, 3ds Max, etc.)
  • Strong understanding of branding, layout, typography, scale, and materials
  • Knowledge of large-format print and production file setup
  • Ability to take direction, collaborate, and execute under deadlines


Preferred (Strong Advantage)

  • Experience with Vectorworks (highly preferred)
  • Background in live events, trade shows, or experiential marketing
  • Understanding of fabrication, materials, lighting, and installation constraints
  • Ability to sketch or quickly visualize concepts
  • Motion, video, or interactive design experience


Portfolio Required

Applicants must submit a portfolio including:

  • 3D environments (booths, stages, pop-ups, scenic concepts)
  • 2D design (branding, graphics, signage)
  • Presentation work (how you communicate ideas to clients)

⚠️ Applications without a relevant portfolio will not be considered.


What We’re Looking For

  • A designer who can move between big-picture concepts and detailed execution
  • Someone who understands that design must be both creative and buildable
  • Highly organized, detail-driven, and comfortable in a fast-paced production environment
  • A collaborative team player who can work across departments

Company Description

Merestone is an award-winning production company that specializes in creating custom-designed, high-end environments, including immersive experiences, stage sets, trade show booths, and marketing elements. The company uses advanced equipment like CNC routers, 3D printers, and carpentry tools to bring these designs to life, ensuring a high standard of craftsmanship.
