At Weston & Sampson’s Design Studio, we bring together landscape architects, planners, urban designers, and visual storytellers who care deeply about making meaningful public spaces. We are a studio that blends systems thinking with craft, clarity with creativity, and design with purpose.

We are looking for a Senior Graphic Designer who thinks beyond templates; someone obsessed with clarity, storytelling, visual systems, and new ways of communicating design ideas. You will help invent how we explain ideas through diagrams, site narratives, environmental graphics, and spatial communication. This role is not production support; it is a design voice in the room. If you bring ideas, energy, and ambition, you will shape where this role goes. Experience in A/E/C or landscape architecture is a plus but not required.

 What you’ll do:

• Manage Landscape Architecture and multidisciplinary projects throughout New England
• Design high-impact visual materials for proposals, reports, planning frameworks, vision plans, competitions, and public communications
• Create spatial and environmental design diagrams, including:
  • Site analysis diagrams (land use, hydrology, ecology, soils, vegetation, systems)
  • Site sections, elevations, and cutaway diagrams
  • Topographic, grading, and contour graphics 
  • Circulation/connection diagrams for pedestrians, bicycles, and vehicles 
  • Climate resilience diagrams (flooding, heat mitigation, stormwater strategies)
• Develop diagrammatic storytelling graphics and icon systems to communicate design process and intent
• Support rendering workflows, including markups, post-processing, and visual refinements in coordination with the landscape architecture team
• Create presentation boards, visual narratives, and public engagement materials (display boards, workshop visuals, informational graphics)
• Contribute to place branding, environmental graphics, and wayfinding design for civic and park spaces
• Support delivery of final files, including print production, layout refinement, redlines, and fabrication-ready artwork as needed
• Work collaboratively as part of an integrated design team across disciplines and offices
• Maintain organized workflows and manage deadlines in a fast-paced studio environment
• Actively participate in design critiques and studio feedback sessions

What you will bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, Landscape Architecture, or related design field
• 5 to 7 years of professional experience in design, architecture, landscape, planning, or environmental graphics
• A portfolio that demonstrates clarity, hierarchy, spatial reasoning, and strong visual composition
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop required)
• Experience creating environmental diagrams and spatial analysis visuals
• Familiarity with SketchUp, Rhino, Enscape, Lumion, Vectorworks, or AutoCAD is a plus
• Experience with GIS, QGIS, or cartographic mapping is a strong plus
• Ability to prepare final production files and coordinate large deliverables
• Strong visual judgment, iterative thinking, and attention to craft
• Ability to collaborate with technical and design teams
• Confidence in presenting and evolving ideas through feedback
• Curiosity, initiative, and interest in designing for public space, equity, ecology, and resilience

Salary Range: $80,000-95,000k
