About the job

• We’re hiring a Creative Lead for Design Systems to define, build, and manage the long-term creative operating system at Spacefinish and Campus. This role is not about daily project execution, it’s about turning our creative DNA into a repeatable, teachable system that scales.


• You’ll codify our design identity, lead the development of creative assets, and mentor the design team in delivering consistent, brand-aligned spatial experiences.

Key Responsibilities

Extract and Codify Our Creative DNA

• Capture the essence of what makes Spacefinish + Campus spatially unique


• Define our visual identity system — tone, mood, materiality, story


• Document principles that others can use to deliver “on-brand” design

Build the Design System

• Create and maintain standard layout templates, design packs, FF&E kits, and moodboard structures


• Work with Design Ops to deploy assets in SketchUp, Revit, and other production tools


• Translate design taste into toolkits that work across different teams and project types

Run Creative QA and Concept Reviews

• Lead creative stage-gate reviews (Concept, Schematic)


• Maintain visual consistency across projects and designers


• Protect creative integrity while allowing room for innovation

Mentor & Multiply

• Train designers to think in our creative language


• Run critiques, design walkthroughs, and internal “taste calibration” sessions


• Scale your thinking through others, not just by doing, but by teaching

Evolve the System Over Time

• Review and update creative standards based on client needs, trends, and internal feedback


• Align Campus and Spacefinish Design Templates under one creative system


• Perform industry research to ensure our design remains current, relevant, and scalable

What Success Looks Like

• We have a Design System that lives in digital assets, not just in minds and meetings


• Designers are empowered to deliver without guessing and burnout


• Our creative bar is protected and not dependent on individuals, but instead on the quality of our design system.


• You’ve created a system that makes great design inevitable

What We’re Looking For

• 7–10 years in interior design, architecture, or spatial brand work


• Strong visual taste and storytelling skills


• Experience building or working within a design system (product or project-based)


• Excellent communication across creative and operational teams


• Proven ability to train or elevate designers through feedback and tools


• Builder energy, you like turning chaos into clarity


• Experience across the workplace, or productized design environments
