Retail and experiential design sits at the intersection of creativity, brand storytelling, and commercial impact — and the best designers in this space are always sought after.

Who We Are
Architecture Social is a specialist recruitment consultancy connected to leading interior design agencies and studios delivering retail, leisure, and experiential projects for national and international brands. We work with creative teams that shape physical brand experiences — from flagship stores and restaurant concepts to immersive pop-ups and leisure destinations. Our ongoing briefings mean we know which agencies are scaling up before opportunities go live.

What Our Clients Typically Ask For
Across the agencies and studios we partner with, clients consistently seek mid-weight interior designers who offer:
• Three to five years of experience in retail, leisure, or experiential interior design
• Strong concept development skills that translate brand narratives into compelling spatial experiences
• Confident production of detailed design drawings, material schedules, and FF&E specifications
• Experience collaborating with brand teams and marketing departments on design alignment
• Proficiency in AutoCAD, SketchUp, Adobe Creative Suite, and 3D visualisation tools such as Cinema 4D
• Comfortable presenting to clients and contributing to pitch presentations and portfolio case studies
• Site supervision experience during fit-out works with an eye for quality and detail

If your creative thinking is matched by commercial awareness and technical precision, we want to hear from you.
