Experience Designer

Deeplocal creates inspiring moments for brands in the real and virtual worlds. We strategize, imagine, design, and fabricate ambitious experiences from concept to execution. Our work is driven by inventive technology, design, storytelling, craft, and most importantly, humans.

We’re seeking a junior-to-mid-level Experience Designer to join our creative team. This role is intentionally broad. Your primary background might be in graphic design, motion design, digital design, art direction, copywriting, strategy, 3D design, interiors, architecture, product design, or experiential design. What matters most is that you can translate ideas into experiences people can see, touch, move through, and interact with.

This is not a traditional UI/UX role, and it is not a strict graphic, motion, or digital design position. Deeplocal’s work lives in physical space. We are looking for someone who can think beyond screens and communicate ideas through spatial, physical, interactive, and human-centered experiences.

Your portfolio should show strong creative thinking, visual taste, and evidence that you can work with physical interaction. That might mean environments, installations, objects, prototypes, interactive exhibits, spatial storytelling, event experiences, kinetic ideas, product-like concepts, or other work that shows how people engage with an idea in the real world.

You care deeply about design quality, from the high-level concept to the smallest detail.

• You are curious about how things work, how people move through spaces, and how physical, visual, digital, and interactive elements come together to create an experience.
• You may have a primary creative discipline, but you are excited to work across disciplines and learn new tools, methods, and ways of making.
• You enjoy participating in cross-functional teams, balancing aesthetic considerations with engineering, technology, fabrication, brand, and user experience.
• You can communicate ideas visually and verbally, whether through sketches, diagrams, storyboards, renders, references, mockups, writing, prototypes, or decks.
• You can handle multiple projects simultaneously, keeping track of deadlines and self-directing your workload and priorities.
• You are aesthetically agile and can design for a variety of brands with different styles, tones, palettes, and voices.
• You are eager to develop creative concepts that integrate thoughtful user experience, physical interaction, and strong storytelling.
• You like getting your hands dirty, using rapid prototyping, low-fidelity models, tests, sketches, or mockups to prove out design concepts.
• You have 2–4 years of experience, preferably in a creative agency, experiential studio, design studio, architecture/interiors practice, production environment, or similar setting.

Deeplocal is an internationally-recognized innovation studio based in Pittsburgh, PA. Our team includes experts in marketing, engineering, design, and fabrication who collaborate to develop never-seen-before physical experiences for brand clients.

Deeplocal has been behind some of advertising’s most talked about campaigns: the Netflix Switch, Google Photos Pay With A Photo, and the Nike Chalkbot. From creating a mind-controlled bike that allowed riders to shift with their thoughts, to building a robotic pitching machine that allowed a child to throw out the first pitch at a baseball game from thousands of miles away, to a single button that dims the lights, orders food, silencers your phone and puts on your favorite show, our projects are wide-ranging and unique. Our work has been featured on Fast Company, Wired, NYTimes, USA Today, the Today Show, Good Morning America, Gizmodo, Engadget, Forbes, and many more.

Deeplocal’s studio is located in a renovated brewery loft space in Sharpsburg, PA—just outside of Pittsburgh and within a few minutes of Lawrenceville. All team members at Deeplocal contribute and participate in work for our amazing roster of clients.
