Creative Concept Designer

We are seeking a visionary and articulate Concept Designer to join our creative team. The ideal candidate possesses a unique blend of spatial design skills and strategic communication abilities. In this role, you will be responsible for conceptualizing immersive environments, including exhibition stands, product display units, kiosks, and retail visual merchandising solutions. The Creative Concept Designer is responsible for generating original, compelling, and strategically aligned creative concepts that elevate brand storytelling and drive audience engagement. This role blends imagination with strategic thinking—transforming abstract ideas into visual narratives, campaign concepts, prototypes, and design directions that inspire teams and captivate audiences.

You will not just design structures; you will design experiences. You will translate client marketing objectives into compelling visual narratives, ensuring that every kiosk or display stand communicates the brand’s message effectively to its audience.

• Collaborate with the technical detailing and production teams to ensure concepts are structural sound and cost-effective to build.
