• Strong portfolio showcasing experiential, environmental, spatial, or large-format design work
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign
• Experience creating print-ready artwork and large-scale environmental graphics
• Strong understanding of typography, layout, visual hierarchy, and brand systems
• Ability to think conceptually while also executing detailed production work
• Experience working in an agency or similarly fast-paced creative environment
• Excellent communication, presentation, and collaboration skills
• Strong attention to detail, organization, and project management skills
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a small, highly engaged team

• Retail, branded environment, or workplace environmental branding experience
• Experience creating spatial layouts, floor plans, or customer journey-based environments
• Knowledge of fabrication methods, production specifications, materials, and installation best practices
• Experience with large-format print production and environmental graphics workflows
• Familiarity with 3D visualization, renderings, or spatial design tools

Why Join Outerkind?

• Work directly with senior creative leadership and gain exposure to strategy, ideation, and client-facing work
• Opportunity to grow into increased creative ownership and future leadership opportunities
• Collaborative, high-performing team environment
