Responsibilities

• Develop 3D models and renderings to communicate design intent

• Graphically convey project opportunities and constraints clearly and effectively

• Contribute innovative ideas and creative solutions to every design challenge

• Uphold and maintain firm-wide standards of quality across all assigned work

• Meet project schedules and budgets with a strong sense of professional responsibility

Who You Are

You are curious about cities and the way people experience them. You bring care and intention to your work — whether that's a sketch, a rendering, or a production drawing — and you're comfortable asking questions and learning as you go. You enjoy being part of a team, take your tasks seriously, and are looking for a studio environment where you can grow alongside talented people who are invested in your development.

You don't need to have all the answers. You just need to show up with a genuine interest in placemaking and a willingness to contribute.
