Job Responsibilities:

• Develop 3D digital models, renderings, structural packaging, and mock-ups.
• Product rendering in support of our Graphic Design team (assist in rendering realistic imagery for packaging and merchandising).
• Assist in ideating prints and patterns (CMF) for our newest brand partnerships.
• Assist in the brainstorming process for product development/iteration (generating multiple sketches and ideas for a product from a single prompt).
• Identify and apply best design practices, methods, tools, and approaches.
• Assist in the development of materials for client presentations.

Ideal Qualifications/Skills:

• BA or BFA in Industrial/Product Design.
• 1-2 years of professional industrial design experience.
• Strong 3D modeling skills (particularly KeyShot and SolidWorks).
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud (primarily Photoshop and Illustrator).
• Familiarity with designing products while keeping cost and client margin in mind.
• Solid knowledge of brand strategy (i.e. understanding and translating the aspirations of a brand).
• Experience in conducting research and competitive analysis.
• Packaging and/or graphic design experience is a plus.
• Comfortable working with quick turnarounds/tight deadlines.
• Strong understanding of the creative process.
• Ideation, brainstorming, and problem-solving abilities.
• Excellent communication skills in both verbal and written forms.
