Brand and Marketing Designer - Experiential

Merestone

Phoenix, AZ • On-site

Full-time

Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, PTO

Re-posted 6 days ago


Job description

Merestone is seeking an Brand and Marketing Designer - Experiential to create immersive branded environments, trade show exhibits, corporate events, and experiential marketing activations.

This role combines 2D graphic design, 3D environmental design, and real-world production thinking. Successful candidates understand how to translate a brand message into a physical experience that can be built, printed, installed, and experienced by an audience.

This is not a video game, animation, VFX, or entertainment concept art position. We are looking for designers with experience creating branded environments, exhibits, events, retail experiences, museums, themed attractions, or other physical spaces.


What You'll Do

  • Design trade show exhibits, stage environments, experiential activations, and branded spaces
  • Create compelling 3D renderings and visualizations that communicate guest experience, scale, materials, and spatial flow
  • Develop concepts, mood boards, presentations, and design narratives for client review
  • Design environmental graphics, signage, large-format print, and branded visual elements
  • Build cohesive brand experiences across physical environments and supporting graphics
  • Prepare production-ready artwork and design documentation for fabrication, print, and installation
  • Collaborate with project managers, fabricators, print specialists, and production teams
  • Review dimensions, materials, construction methods, and installation requirements for accuracy and feasibility
  • Manage multiple projects in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment


Required Qualifications

  • 3–5+ years of experience in experiential, exhibit, event, environmental, retail, museum, or themed entertainment design
  • Strong portfolio demonstrating both 2D graphic design and 3D environmental design
  • Experience designing for physical spaces and real-world construction
  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign)
  • Experience with SketchUp, Vectorworks, Blender, Cinema 4D, 3ds Max, or similar 3D design software
  • Strong understanding of branding, typography, layout, environmental graphics, and spatial design
  • Knowledge of large-format print production and fabrication processes
  • Ability to collaborate, communicate, and execute under deadlines

Preferred Experience

  • Trade shows and exhibits
  • Live events and experiential marketing
  • Environmental graphic design
  • Scenic design and fabrication
  • Retail environments
  • Vectorworks experience
  • Understanding of construction methods, materials, lighting, and installation logistics


Portfolio Required

Applicants must submit a portfolio that includes:

  • Built exhibits, environments, activations, or branded spaces
  • 3D renderings and environmental design work
  • Environmental graphics, signage, or branding projects
  • Client presentation materials demonstrating concept development


Applications without a portfolio will not be considered.


What We're Looking For

We're looking for a designer who understands that great design is more than a beautiful rendering. The ideal candidate can develop strong creative concepts while also considering fabrication, budget, logistics, installation, and guest experience.

If your portfolio primarily consists of video game environments, character design, animation, or concept art without real-world built projects, this position is likely not the right fit.

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.
