Graphic design assistant Jobs in Pasadena, CA

RIOS is an international design collective. We are actively in pursuit of wonder within the design of the built environment. We believe design is an act of optimism through which invention and ideas change the world. We practice interconnected design across architecture, placemaking, and landscape architecture to define design as a continuum.

We follow a process that begins with attunement, where program and context shape strong conceptual thinking to establish a holistically informed big idea through which we develop form, confirm function, and define experience as the basis on which to explore ecology, material, and tectonic expression. We are known for our bold solutions that are inclusive of the wider context and are ever mindful that an interdisciplinary approach to design brings about inclusive, resilient, and original solutions that ensure diversity and resilience.

We are seeking a highly creative, self-motivated Designer to join our Experience Design team located in the Boulder office. The candidate will support the team in all phases of a project, including programming, conceptual design, schematic design, design development, and documentation.

The ideal candidate must possess the following skills :

• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop)
• Strong typography, layout, and visual storytelling skills
• 3D rendering skills in Rhino or similar software are a strong plus
• Ability to read and interpret architectural drawings
• Ability to produce design intent drawings, including fabrication methods and material specifications
• Solid understanding of construction terminology and fabrication processes
• Knowledge of ADA compliance and relevant building codes related to experiential graphic design, signage, and wayfinding
• Experience with construction administration, including shop drawing reviews, punch walks is a plus
• Familiarity with SignAgent is a plus
