Immersive Experience Designer

PBK is seeking an Immersive Experience Designer to join its Immersive Experience Design (IxD) Lab, a small, fast-moving studio focused on creating technology-driven environments for education, civic, and cultural projects. This is a hands-on design role for someone who can take big ideas and quickly turn them into real, spatially resolved concepts. You will work directly with the Director of IxD to develop immersive environments that integrate architecture, digital content, and storytelling. This role is critical to scaling the studio's ability to deliver high-impact work.

Your Impact:

Lead the spatial development of immersive environments, translating conceptual ideas into real, technically feasible designs. Create and manage 3D models, diagrams, and spatial systems that support interactive, experiential, and exhibit-based projects. This role plays a critical part in scaling the Immersive Experience studio's ability to deliver high-impact immersive projects and will have meaningful influence over how the studio evolves. Collaborate with architects, designers, and digital experience teams to ensure design intent carries through from concept to execution. Help resolve technical and spatial challenges related to fabrication, AV integration, and emerging technologies. Support early-stage concept development through modeling, visual studies, and design exploration. Contribute to presentations and design narratives for clients, stakeholders, and project teams. Act as a key bridge between creative vision and real-world implementation.
