Ideal Candidate

We’re looking for someone who is creative, detail-oriented, resourceful, and highly hands-on—someone who can move seamlessly from creative ideation and visualisation to sourcing, fabrication, and final on-set execution.

If you have a strong visual perspective, love building worlds through spaces, props, textures, and details, and thrive in a fast-moving creative production environment, we’d love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop set design concepts, visual treatments, moodboards, sketches, and references based on creative briefs.
• Translate creative ideas into visually strong, functional, and production-ready sets.
• Collaborate with Creative Directors, Art Directors, Production Designers, Producers, Stylists, Photographers, and Directors.
• Plan and execute set builds, set dressing, prop styling, furniture, backgrounds, installations, and spatial elements.
• Research and source props, furniture, materials, fabrics, décor, textures, and set elements.
• Coordinate with vendors, fabricators, carpenters, rental houses, and production teams to ensure seamless execution.
• Support pre-production planning, budgeting, sourcing, fabrication, installation, and on-set execution.
• Manage set requirements while maintaining creative quality, timelines, budgets, and brand guidelines.
• Be hands-on during shoots, including set dressing, styling, troubleshooting, and last-minute creative changes.
• Stay updated on design trends, contemporary aesthetics, materials, production techniques, and cultural references.

Requirements

• 2–3.5 years of experience in Set Design, Production Design, Art Direction, Spatial Design, or a related field.
• Strong understanding of visual composition, colour, materials, scale, textures, and spatial aesthetics.
• Hands-on experience with set builds, set dressing, props, sourcing, fabrication, and on-set execution.
• Ability to translate creative briefs into strong, practical, and production-ready set concepts.
• Strong vendor coordination, problem-solving, and project management skills with the ability to work under tight timelines.
• Proficiency in SketchUp, Photoshop, Illustrator, or similar design tools; a strong portfolio is essential.
