Junior visual designer
at Studio Drift
Studio Drift is hiring a junior visual designer to join its team in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
At DRIFT, we’re looking for a junior visual designer to join our future projects team and help shape the next generation of immersive experiences at the intersection of art, design and technology.
Are you a highly visual thinker with a background in art, design, or architecture – someone who’s captivated by the emotional power of light and space? As a junior visual designer, you’ll collaborate with our sales, marketing, exhibitions and future projects teams to develop impactful visual proposals and design concepts for installations and artworks across the globe. Your work will play a key role in telling visual stories that are innovative, poetic, and deeply human.
What you’ll do:
- design immersive and conceptual visual proposals that support major exhibitions, client pitches, and future-focused projects
- translate abstract ideas into compelling sketches, renders, and animations that communicate the essence of each project
- work across 2D and 3D media using Rhino/Grasshopper, Blender, Unreal Engine, and Adobe Creative Suite
- collaborate closely with internal teams to develop presentations, pitch decks, technical drawings and visualisations for high-profile international partners
- help shape new visual languages at the cutting edge of light, motion, and experience
We would love it if you have:
- a completed bachelor’s or master’s degree in art, design, architecture, spatial design, game design or a related discipline
- two to three years’ of professional experience in a creative studio or design practice
- strong fascination with light as a medium, and a deep interest in contemporary art and immersive experiences
- excellent visual storytelling skills, from hand sketches to polished 3D renders and animation
- proficiency in Rhino/Grasshopper, Blender, Enscape, Unreal Engine, and Adobe CC (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects)
- a collaborative spirit, attention to detail, and comfort working across teams
- based in the Netherlands or willing to relocate to Amsterdam
