Position Overview

Our agency client is seeking a Production Designer to provide additional creative and production support across two major experiential and event projects.This role is ideal for a strong graphic designer who also has hands-on production design experience, particularly across large-format print, environmental graphics, event signage, and physical branded environments.

The Production Designer will be responsible for taking those concepts and running with the execution, translating approved creative into polished, accurate, production-ready assets across a high volume of deliverables.

• Extend an approved visual identity across numerous event and campaign deliverables.
• Resize, version, and adapt existing creative while maintaining strong brand consistency.
• Apply strong design fundamentals across typography, color, composition, hierarchy, and layout.
• Support the development of event signage, environmental messaging, promotional graphics, and other physical brand touchpoints.
• Partner withcreative and production teams to move concepts efficiently into execution.
• Manage multiple production requests and rounds of revisions against tight deadlines.

• Strong understanding of human scale and how typography, graphics, messaging, and composition translate into a physical environment.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating relevant production design, environmental graphics, event graphics, signage, or large-format print work.
• Excellent typography, color, composition, hierarchy, and layout skills.
• Ability to take an established creative direction and independently run with execution.
• Strong attention to detail, particularly around dimensions, layout, resolution, and production specifications.
• Ability to work quickly and efficiently across multiple deliverables and rounds of revisions.
• Comfortable operating independently with minimal handholding.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting large-scale live events or experiential activations.
