Shape the Future of Play: Exhibit Designer

At The Strong, we believe play has the power to inspire, educate, and connect people of all ages. Behind our world-renowned exhibits and the world's most comprehensive collection of toys, games, and play history is a passionate, collaborative team—and an exceptional opportunity for a creative, forward-thinking design professional.

We are seeking an Museum Exhibit Designer to serve as a key visual and spatial storyteller, taking concepts from paper to tangible, immersive exhibit spaces on our museum floor.

Why This Role?

You won't just build spaces—you’ll create unforgettable experiences. You will step into a dynamic environment where you design world-class physical exhibit galleries, interactive environments, and artifact displays. Working on-site in Rochester, NY, your focus will be on spatial planning, 3D/2D rendering, prototyping, and collaborating closely with developers, fabricators, and technology specialists to bring the future of play to life within defined timelines and schedules.

What You Bring:

• Spatial & Design Expertise: A background in Exhibition Design, Interior Architecture, Industrial Design, or a related field, along with strong 2D/3D visual communication and rendering skills.

• Portfolio of Process & Physical Build: A compelling portfolio showcasing your iterative design process—from sketches and CAD renderings to finished, physical 3D spaces or interactive builds.

• Execution & Collaborative Mindset: Outstanding time management, project planning, and visual communication abilities, coupled with a hands-on understanding of materials, fabrication, and accessibility.

If you are a creative problem-solver eager to bring immersive worlds of play to life, we’d love to connect!
