Senior 3D Exhibition Designer

Are you a visionary spatial designer who thrives on turning bold concepts into awe-inspiring physical realities? Profiles Creative is delighted to partner with an innovative global creative agency based in the heart of Shoreditch, East London. We are seeking a talented Senior 3D Exhibition Designer to join their expanding 3D team on a permanent, full-time basis. If you have a proven track record of creating "WOW" moments, challenging traditional design briefs, and using spatial environments to tell powerful, immersive stories, this is your opportunity to shine in a highly collaborative, on-site studio environment.

In this role, you will be the creative heartbeat of the 3D team. Working from the energetic London studio, you will collaborate closely with Graphic Designers, Content Developers, and Strategists to shape the visual and emotional flow of major international exhibition projects. While technical viability is essential, your primary focus will be concept creation, narrative development, and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in physical spaces.

Key Responsibilities

• Concept to Creation: Deliver exceptional creative spatial designs, translating initial brand strategies into breathtaking 3D exhibition spaces and completed visuals.
• Hero Moment Design: Ideate and develop the "Hero" features of each space, including bespoke architectural gestures, interactive installations, and focal sculptures.
• Creative Leadership: Lead the design narrative across multiple concurrent projects, ensuring aesthetic consistency while meeting tight production deadlines.
• Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Partner with internal strategists and external suppliers to ensure the creative vision is preserved from the initial sketch to the final build.
• On-Site Delivery: Travel occasionally to oversee the physical realisation of your designs, ensuring flawless execution on-site both within the UK and internationally.

Required Skills & Experience

• Expert Spatial Design: 5+ years of professional experience in spatial design, exhibition design, interior design, or architecture, with a portfolio showcasing extraordinary concepts and spatial storytelling.
• Critical Software Mastery: Advanced, industry-proven expertise in SketchUp for precise 3D modelling and spatial design development.
• Atmospheric Rendering: Outstanding proficiency in Enscape to produce highly realistic, mood-driven, and immersive renders that captivate clients.
• Technical Understanding: A strong grasp of fabrication, materials, and construction methods to ensure your wild, ambitious ideas are structurally buildable.
• Communication & Presence: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to confidently pitch design narratives to high-profile stakeholders.
• Right to Work: Candidates must possess the permanent legal right to work in the United Kingdom, as visa sponsorship is not available for this position.

Nice-to-Have

• Experience utilizing AI tools to streamline design workflows, enhance client presentations, and accelerate creative output.
• Proficiency in Vectorworks for producing detailed technical drawings and construction layouts.
• Strong copywriting skills for crafting compelling written design pitches and spatial narratives.
