Position Summary

ColorCraft is seeking a creative, motivated, and detail-oriented 3D Exhibit Designer to join our Creative team. Reporting directly to the Creative Director, you'll help transform client objectives into compelling three-dimensional exhibit concepts that balance creativity, functionality, manufacturability, and budget.

This role is ideal for someone with a passion for experiential design and a strong foundation in 3D modeling who enjoys solving real-world design challenges. Experience in the trade show and exhibit industry is strongly preferred, as successful candidates should understand the unique requirements of designing for live events, including engineering limitations, show regulations, attendee flow, and fabrication considerations.

You'll collaborate closely with sales, engineering, estimating, graphics, and production teams to develop exhibits that are not only visually impactful but also practical to build and install.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop creative 3D exhibit concepts based on client objectives, budgets, and branding requirements.
• Produce high-quality, photo-realistic renderings and presentation materials for client proposals.
• Create functional exhibit layouts that maximize attendee engagement while considering traffic flow and spatial planning.
• Design exhibits that balance creativity with engineering feasibility, fabrication methods, transportation, and installation requirements.
• Apply an understanding of venue regulations, line-of-sight rules, and exhibit height restrictions throughout the design process.
• Design for both custom purchase exhibits and custom rental programs, utilizing existing inventory when appropriate.
• Work closely with the Creative Director to refine concepts and incorporate client feedback.
• Collaborate with engineering and production teams to ensure concepts can be successfully fabricated and installed.
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously while meeting deadlines and maintaining design quality.
• Continue developing expertise in ColorCraft's design processes, software, and exhibit systems.

• Experience designing custom trade show exhibits.
• Proficiency in Autodesk 3ds Max.
• Experience creating photo-realistic renderings and animations.
• General understanding of structural engineering principles and fabrication methods.
• Familiarity with exhibit engineering, manufacturing constraints, and installation processes.
