Emerge XP is partnering with an Atlanta based custom exhibit client to identify a Graphic Designer who brings strategic creative thinking, brand discipline, and high level visual execution to the world of live brand experiences. This is a key opportunity for a designer who understands how to translate brand objectives into compelling visual assets across print, environmental, digital, and event based applications.

For the right designer, this role offers the chance to work across multiple touchpoints, from exhibit graphics and event signage to supporting campaign visuals and branded collateral.
