Senior 3D Designer (Spatial & Exhibition)

Dezign Format is looking for a Senior 3D Designer to join our growing experiential design team. You’ll shape visitor experiences across exhibitions, museums, events and installations, bringing stories to life through space, media and interaction.

Working closely with our Creative Director, Art Director, graphic and multimedia designers, you’ll help define what visitors should discover, feel and take away. You’ll lead the spatial design from early concept and visitor journey planning through to detailed design and production.

What You’ll Do

• Shape the creative concept. Interpret the brief, consider the audience and propose spatial ideas that support the project’s objectives. Explore unexpected approaches and explain why they work.

• Plan the visitor journey. Translate storylines into spatial experiences, deciding what visitors encounter first, how they move through the space and where they can pause, explore or participate.

• Bring physical and digital experiences together. Work with graphic and multimedia designers to integrate exhibition graphics, digital media and interactives into the space from the concept stage.

• Visualise and present your ideas. Develop layouts, 3D models and presentation-ready visuals that convey scale, atmosphere and design intent. Communicate your design rationale in internal reviews and client presentations.

• Develop designs for production. Refine materials, finishes and spatial details with project managers, technical drafters and production teams. Resolve buildability, budget and site constraints while protecting the design intent.
  

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in spatial, exhibition, museum, event or experiential design. Experience on commercial projects is preferred.

• A portfolio that shows your creative thinking, your role in shaping the visitor experience and how you developed ideas for delivery.

• Strategic thinking and a strong understanding of spatial storytelling, visitor flow, scale, materials and finishes.

• Creative curiosity and the confidence to question assumptions, test unfamiliar ideas and turn them into practical design solutions.

• An interest in how digital media and interactive technology can enrich physical spaces. Experience integrating them into built projects is an advantage.

• Proficiency with 3D modelling tools such as SketchUp, Rhino or 3ds Max, along with rendering tools such as Enscape and familiarity with Adobe Creative Suite.

• The ability to lead your own design work, give and receive constructive feedback, and collaborate across disciplines.
