Interdisciplinary Designer

Role Overview

Part-time, remote Interdisciplinary Designer at Friendly Futures. You’ll collaborate with Creative Directors and the design team to develop playful, people-centered projects—from early concepts through Rhino models to polished presentations. The role has potential to grow into a full-time position.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate on the design of social experiences in the built environment (including Neighborhood Games and other playful interventions)
• Contribute to both spatial design and experiential/rule-based thinking
• Create 3D models in Rhino and produce drawings, diagrams, and presentation materials
• Translate rough ideas into clear, compelling visual stories
• Provide creative input focused on connection, play, and community

Requirements

• Strong proficiency in Rhino
• Background in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Urban Design, Game Design, or related fields
• 1–2 years of experience (including internships)
• Portfolio demonstrating strong design judgment and original thinking (ideally work exploring play, interaction, or how people use space)
• Strong collaboration and communication skills
• Interest in how people behave in spaces (social dynamics, public life, human interaction)

Bonus / Nice-to-Haves

• Experience teaching, facilitating workshops, or organizing clubs/community events

Ideal Candidate

• Recently graduated or in graduate school with a strong design foundation
• Comfortable moving between spatial design and experience design
• Enjoys building interaction ideas in Rhino and thinking through how people move and connect in space
