Creative Exhibition Stand Designer

We’re on the hunt for a Creative Exhibition Stand Designer to be part of our team that creates stunning exhibition stand designs for trade shows and consumer events.

With every brand having its own style, requirements and goals for the event, every exhibition stand needs its own design and creative flair to go with it. We’re a team that loves coming up with new ideas and creating new designs for how things look and feel.
It’s not all about how the exhibition stand looks, either, as part of the stand design, you’ll need to be creative about how the stand flows and works for the team running it. You’ll also have the opportunity to come up with ideas for brand activations and engaging aspects for the event.

If you are bursting with creative ideas, obsessed with how spaces look and feel, love exploring new brand activations and are curious about live events, then this could be the role for you.
