Our team brings experience from architecture, exhibit design, theatre, fine arts, fabrication, and event production to create memorable environments and experiences.

From concept through installation, we provide custom fabrication, rental solutions, environmental graphics, and event production services for clients throughout the region. We value collaboration, craftsmanship, accountability, and long-term partnerships.

Design Foundry is seeking a full-time, on-site Graphic Production Designer to support the development and execution of event graphics, signage packages, branded environments, and marketing materials.

The ideal candidate is highly organized, detail-oriented, and enjoys bringing projects to life through careful execution, problem-solving, and collaboration. Success in this role requires equal comfort working on-screen and reviewing physical graphics, materials, and finished products to ensure quality and accuracy.
