Es Devlin Studio is seeking a Senior Associate Designer to join its team in London.
We are a small southeast London based creative studio dedicated to developing and realising British contemporary artist and designer Es Devlin’s art and design projects.
Our practice encompasses large scale art installations at institutions including V&A, Design Museum, Serpentine Gallery, Pinacoteca di Brera Milan, Faena Miami and Tate Modern; performance designs at the Met Opera, Royal Opera House, National Theatre and Sadlers Wells; as well as collaborations with fashion houses, and kinetic stage sculptures with celebrated musicians and Olympic and Super Bowl ceremonies.
We are seeking a senior designer with extensive experience in these fields, excellent drawing and rendering expertise as well as great skills in teamwork and communication, who has already designed a portfolio of large scale projects from concept to completion.
As senior associate designer you will collaborate closely with Es Devlin to research and develop art and design concepts and produce first class technical drawings, illustrations, renders and animations. You will manage communications for specific projects with commissioning partners, fabrication vendors and creative collaborators, and will travel regularly in order to supervise fabrication, installation and realisation of Es Devlin’s art and design projects globally. You will also nurture the skills and talents of the studio’s more junior design associates.
This is a rare opportunity to become part of Es Devlin’s senior design associate team: this type of opening tends to arise once or twice every three to four years.
