Temporary Disney Creative Development Jobs in Pennsylvania

About TC Shadowlight

TC Shadowlight is a creative production studio specializing in building inspiring environments for some of the world's leading brands. We pride ourselves on our collaborative culture, creative problem-solving, and passion for bringing ideas to life.

Our Art Department creates interior environments for commercial photography, video, product storytelling, and digital content. Using furniture, accessories, textiles, artwork, architectural elements, color, and materials, our team transforms creative concepts into fully realized, camera-ready spaces that support our clients' brands.

As our creative work continues to evolve, we are expanding our Art Department and building out our styling team. We are seeking Interior Designers and Set Stylists with a strong eye for interiors, styling, composition, and visual storytelling.

This is an opportunity to apply interior design and decorating skills in a unique creative environment. Rather than designing permanent residential or commercial spaces, our team creates temporary, highly detailed interior environments for photography and video-often moving from one style, brand, and creative challenge to another.

Candidates may come from interior design, interior decorating, home styling, visual merchandising, set styling, or related creative backgrounds. Experience in a production studio is not required for the right candidate; we are interested in strong creative instincts, an understanding of interiors, and the ability and desire to learn our production process.

Position Overview

The Interior Designer / Set Stylist works within the Art Department to develop and execute visually compelling, camera-ready environments for photo and video productions.

Depending on experience, this position may support or independently lead aspects of creative development, interior styling, room assembly, prop sourcing, client brand interpretation, and on-set execution.

The ideal candidate combines a strong understanding of interior design principles-including scale, proportion, balance, color, texture, composition, and spatial relationships-with the flexibility and problem-solving skills needed to bring a creative vision to life in a fast-paced studio environment.

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute interior environments and room scenes for commercial photography and video productions.
• Select and style furniture, artwork, accessories, textiles, lighting, decor, and architectural elements to create cohesive and visually compelling spaces.
• Apply interior design principles including scale, proportion, balance, harmony, color, contrast, rhythm, and composition.
• Create and revise style boards, inspiration presentations, color palettes, and other visual references.
• Source furniture, props, decor, materials, and accessories through vendors, retail sources, vintage and antique resources, and our extensive in-house prop collection.
• Interpret client brands, creative briefs, and visual direction and translate them into physical environments.
• Work collaboratively with Art Directors, Designers, Set Stylists, Production, Photography, Video, and Carpentry teams to develop and execute creative concepts.
• Prepare, assemble, style, and maintain camera-ready sets, considering how spaces and styling choices translate through the camera.
• Make on-set styling adjustments to furniture, props, accessories, and decor to refine composition and support photography and video needs.
• Participate in real-time creative problem-solving during productions, including continuity management and styling adjustments.
• Support or lead prop sourcing, purchasing, organization, pulling, returns, and de-propping depending on experience level.
• Support specialty styling needs including material boards, flat lays, appliance propping, and food-related environments as needed.
• Manage multiple projects, changing priorities, production schedules, and deadlines.
• Track project expenses and work within established styling and production budgets.
• Stay current on interior design, home, lifestyle, fashion, and consumer trends.
• Participate in department meetings, creative critiques, training, and collaborative development.
• Maintain a proactive, solutions-oriented attitude and contribute to the overall success of the Art Department.

Ideal Candidate
