Senior Environmental Graphic Designer

As Senior Environmental Graphic Designer, you'll define how True Anomaly shows up in the physical world.

This is a ground-floor opportunity to establish the physical expression of a brand at a company in tremendous growth, creating the environmental design language for an entire industry being defined in real time. Our brand increasingly lives beyond the screen: in workplaces and R&D environments, customer spaces, industry events, and installations that make what we're building real.

You'll bring both a designer's and a curator's eye to the work, considering how graphics, language, imagery, objects, materials, and architecture work together to tell a story. The goal isn't to apply the brand to an environment but to make our technology, people, and mission tangible.

You'll sit within Brand & Creative, reporting to the Head of Graphic Design & Brand Identity, and partner closely with Facilities Design, Experiential, and Copy. Your work will span permanent architectural environments and quick experiential projects.

You'll start hands-on, shaping both the work and the systems behind it. As True Anomaly grows, you'll define how environmental design grows as a capability within Brand & Creative.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Design & Storytelling

• Lead environmental graphic design from concept through installation across workplaces, R&D spaces, customer environments, events, exhibits, and branded installations

• Translate True Anomaly's visual identity into physical space, creating new expressions of typography, imagery, information, materiality, and storytelling rather than applying existing assets to surfaces

• Bring an editorial point of view to physical environments, composing graphics, imagery, artifacts, objects, and digital content into cohesive spatial narratives

• Develop design deliverables that clearly communicate intent: concepts, mood boards, layouts, elevations, material palettes, mockups, presentations

• Design experiences that integrate physical and digital storytelling through displays, projection, motion, interactive content, and product models

• Translate complex technology and ideas into experiences that are compelling and understandable without oversimplifying

Experience & Execution

• Design branded environments for events, launches, customer demos, and installations, from scalable systems to bespoke moments, in partnership with internal teams and external agencies

• Consider the full audience journey: what draws someone in, what they discover, and what they remember

• Create flexible design systems that scale across different footprints, venues, audiences, and budgets without losing brand integrity

• Support on-site installation, styling, troubleshooting, and final creative decisions when needed

Production & Implementation

• Own environmental design through production and installation, ensuring creative intent survives fabrication realities

• Prepare and review production documentation: artwork, dimensions, elevations, specifications, material selections, shop drawings, installation guides

• Partner directly with fabricators, printers, sign vendors, architects, contractors, and experiential agencies

• Evaluate materials, substrates, finishes, fabrication techniques, and physical details for quality, durability, cost, and feasibility

• Participate in site surveys, production reviews, installation oversight, and punch-listing as needed

• Understand schedules and budgets well enough to make smart creative decisions and identify risks early

Build the Environmental Brand System

• Define True Anomaly's environmental design language as an extension of the visual identity, creating continuity across digital, print, motion, and environmental expressions

• Establish principles, standards, templates, material approaches, and repeatable systems that enable consistent execution without one-size-fits-all solutions

• Develop guidelines and tools that enable internal teams and external partners to execute the environmental brand

• Build and maintain relationships with a trusted network of fabricators, printers, vendors, craftspeople, and specialty partners

• Continue exploring new materials, technologies, and fabrication methods that push the physical expression of the brand forward and raise the quality bar as the company grows

QUALIFICATIONS

• 6+ years of experience in environmental graphic design, experiential design, exhibition design, branded environments, or a closely related discipline.

• A portfolio demonstrating exceptional environmental and graphic design across physical spaces. Experience spanning workplace, exhibitions, cultural spaces, events, retail, hospitality, or other branded environments is relevant.

• Strong graphic design fundamentals, particularly typography, composition, hierarchy, imagery, and identity systems.

• A strong editorial and curatorial sensibility, with an ability to combine graphics, language, imagery, objects, technology, and space into a coherent narrative.

• Experience taking environmental projects from concept through fabrication and installation.

• Fluency in large-format print production, signage, materials, finishes, substrates, fabrication techniques, and installation methods.

• Comfortable reading and reviewing architectural plans, elevations, shop drawings, details, and specifications.

• Experience working directly with fabricators, printers, architects, contractors, experiential agencies, and other external partners.

• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma. Working knowledge of CAD, SketchUp, Rhino, or other

spatial design and visualization tools is a plus.

• Ability to communicate spatial ideas clearly through sketches, diagrams, elevations, renderings, mockups, and presentations.

• Strong creative judgment paired with the resourcefulness to solve design problems within real-world budget, schedule, production, and site constraints.

• Comfortable moving between highly visible, long-term environments and fast-turn projects without treating either as a lesser design problem.

• Collaborative by nature and comfortable developing ideas alongside graphic designers, experiential designers, writers, content creators, architects, and production partners.

• Curious about technology, culture, design, architecture, art, and the world beyond traditional environmental graphic design.

• Able to operate with autonomy in a fast-moving environment, balancing multiple projects at different scales and stages of development.

• Willingness to travel for site visits, events, production reviews, and installations as needed.
