demonstrate a strong eye for aesthetics, brand alignment, spatial composition, and an understanding of architectural principles
be proficient in freehand and digital sketching for quick idea generation and style exploration
have software proficiency with 3ds Max (with V-Ray and/or Corona) and Adobe Creative Suite; experience with SketchUp or Cinema 4D is a plus
apply effective time management skills to balance assigned tasks across multiple projects while meeting deadlines
have clear vision to view detailed designs on screen, evaluate color, shading, and textures, and use design equipment/tablets effectively
articulate design ideas clearly to team members and respond constructively to feedback

In this position you'll:

contribute to original design ideas, producing quick concept sketches and visual ideas to explore form, spatial flow, and branded storytelling
build foundational 3D models and environmental elements using 3ds Max, SketchUp, or similar platforms
assist in preparing presentation-ready visuals (renderings, diagrams, mood boards) and assemble design decks for internal and client reviews
gather visual/material references and actively explore new design trends to inform early-stage concept work
keep visual files, 3D models, and references organized for efficient team collaboration

To get hired at The Bernard Group, you MUST be:

able to effectively communicate, both verbally and in writing
willing to admit when you make a mistake (it happens to the best of us)
fiercely loyal to both our customers and team
trustworthy, reliable, and easy to get along with
enthusiastic and eager to take on new challenges
adaptable, curious, and willing to wear whatever hat gets the job done
