What You’ll Do

The Freelance 3D Rendering Artist (20 hours per week)  will support the Global Retail Experience team in visualizing design concepts across scales — from flagship environments to fixture-level detail. This role requires strong creative translation skills, fast iteration, and precision in rendering environments, materials, and lighting to bring design intent to life. 

The ideal candidate combines architectural visualization expertise with an understanding of storytelling and brand experience. They are agile, organized, and comfortable flexing between high-level concept development and detailed production support. 

This role will report to the Associate Creative Director, Global Retail Experience. 

What You’ll Be Working On

• Translate hand sketches and design concepts into 3D models and photorealistic renderings that capture brand tone, materiality, and spatial intent. 

• Collaborate with Retail Experience, Global VM, and Global Creative leads to visualize retail concepts, fixtures, and environmental details for review and approval. 

• Produce rendering variations across scales — from full store environments to furniture and fixture components. 

• Support the visualization of global concepts for flagships, department stores, pop-ups and travel retail executions. 

• Maintain brand visual standards across all renderings, ensuring color, light, and material representation are consistent with Sol de Janeiro’s creative guidelines. 

• Manage workload and delivery timelines based on project priorities and seasonal needs. 

• Provide organized file structure, layer naming, and asset archiving for cross-functional access. 

Must Haves

• 5 years of experience in 3D visualization, environmental design, or related discipline. 

• Strong proficiency in Rhino and KeyShot; additional knowledge of AutoCAD, SketchUp, or Revit a plus. 

• Excellent sketching and spatial visualization skills — ability to translate loose concepts into refined, dimensional visuals quickly. 

• Strong understanding of materials, lighting, and composition in architectural renderings. 

• Portfolio demonstrating versatility in scale — from large retail environments to detailed furniture and fixture visualization. 

• Experience collaborating in fast-paced, cross-functional creative environments. 

• Ability to manage multiple projects and deliver high-quality output under tight timelines. 

• Understanding of beauty, lifestyle, or retail design is strongly preferred.
