The Art Director will work closely with cross-functional partners including creative leads, designers, production teams, and external vendors to ensure the environment is visually compelling, emotionally resonant, and executable at scale. This is a hands-on leadership role that balances big-picture thinking with detailed execution.

• Oversee and guide designers, fabricators, and production partners to ensure creative consistency and quality
• Collaborate closely with creative leadership, production, and technical teams to align vision with real-world constraints
• Review and provide feedback on design assets including environments, graphics, lighting concepts, and physical builds
• Maintain creative integrity throughout execution while adapting to evolving scope, timelines, and production realities
• Act as a creative problem-solver when challenges arise during fabrication, installation, or iteration phases

• Comfortable leading creative teams while collaborating closely with production and technical partners
• Experience working through ambiguity and adapting creative direction as projects evolve
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to clearly articulate creative intent to both creative and non-creative stakeholders

Nice to Have
