Senior Experiential Retail Designer

About YourStudio

YourStudio is a dynamic strategy and creative agency specialising in next-generation experiences and environments for global brands. With studios in London, Melbourne, New York and LA, we work supportively as one global team to deliver award-winning experiences that are recognised globally.

The Opportunity

This is a hands-on, concept-driven role for a curious and forward-thinking designer, who is fluent across retail environments, in-store experience, and brand activation. You will be passionate about exploring how technology and creativity converge meaningfully within physical space.

Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, you’ll bring big ideas and translate these into tangible, emotionally resonant retail experiences that drive human connection — designed to captivate, connect audiences, and shape culture.

You will bring a deep understanding of retail design fundamentals and have the skills to translate brand identity and storytelling into the built environment.

Who You Are

You're a curious, inventive designer with a proactive, experimental mindset. You thrive in collaborative environments, iterate quickly, and have a genuine passion for creating memorable retail experiences that spark emotion and connect with people.

What You'll Do

Translate Ideas into Compelling Design

Transform concepts into powerful design outputs, applied into the built environment — from sketches and narratives to 3D visuals and motion-led storytelling that bring ideas off the page and into physical space.

Collaborate Across Disciplines & Time Zones

Work closely with multi-disciplinary teams to push ideas, iterate fast, and refine concepts with confidence. Use Figma/Miro as part of a collaborative global workflow, helping connect ideas seamlessly across teams and geographies.

Experiment with Technology & Innovation

Explore how AI and emerging technologies can enhance storytelling, immersion, and shareability in physical environments. Push the boundaries of what's possible when creativity meets innovation.

Present with Clarity & Conviction

Communicate your ideas confidently—whether in internal workshops or client pitches. Create visuals and presentations that articulate creative thinking with precision and emotion.

Create Spectacle

Design experiences that don't just exist in space—they transform it. Uphold YourStudio's creative principles: anchor in an idea, design for emotion, say more with less, use your imagination, and commit.

What You'll You bring:

• 5–8 years of experience in retail environments, experiential design, brand activation, or spatial storytelling

• A portfolio that demonstrates conceptual depth and craft in translating big ideas into memorable in-store experiences

• Strong storytelling, visualization, and presentation skills—confident moving between sketches, storyboards, and 3D visuals

• Proficiency in Figma/Miro for collaborative design, plus strong working knowledge of Cinema 4D and sketching

• Experience using AI-assisted and generative tools as part of the creative process

• A hands-on, experimental approach—open to collaboration and confident iterating ideas quickly

• A desire to create work that defines culture and leaves a lasting impression
