Who We Are

Bluewater Technologies Group, Inc., founded in 1985, is the only woman-owned business of its kind, bringing together multiple industry-leading teams under one roof. Our mission is simple: unlock the potential of spaces. That potential might mean helping organizations communicate more clearly, operate more efficiently, or even monetize their environments in new ways. From large-scale events and brand activations to workplace environments and permanent installations, we transform spaces into places that connect, inspire, and perform.

At Bluewater, you’ll find planners, makers, and innovators working side by side—blending creativity, technology, and strategy to deliver experiences that matter. Rooted in our EPIC values (Excellence, Passion, Integrity, Collaboration— and Fun!), we’re driven by a shared purpose: to make people smile.

Role Summary

The Visual Designer I is responsible for producing high-quality visual design across experiential activations, digital media, live environments, and client-facing communications. This is a hands-on creative production role focused on translating established concepts, brand standards, and creative direction into polished, production-ready deliverables.

Visual designers work closely with creative directors, motion designers, 3D artists, software developers, project managers, and sales teams to execute visual work across a wide range of formats. Deliverables may include vector artwork, environmental graphics, user-interface assets, layouts, storyboards, mockups, and professional presentations.

The ideal candidate is a versatile designer who can interpret another person's creative vision, make strong design decisions within that direction, and execute with a high level of craft. Depending on the project, this person may also help establish or take ownership of the visual direction.

Key Responsibilities:

Creative Production & Execution

• Execute established creative direction across experiential, interactive, digital, presentation, and live-event deliverables.
• Translate creative briefs, sketches, style frames, references, and brand standards into refined visual assets and production-ready artwork.
• Extend approved concepts across multiple formats and touchpoints while maintaining consistency and attention to detail.
• Work efficiently through revisions, production updates, and versioning without losing the intent of the original creative vision.

Visual Design & Storytelling

• Create high-quality vector graphics, illustrations, icons, typography, compositions, layouts, and production artwork.
• Design polished, professional presentations that clearly and persuasively communicate creative concepts, user journeys, and proposed experiences.
• Organize complex ideas into intuitive visual narratives using diagrams, mockups, reference imagery, and concise supporting content.
• Apply strong principles of hierarchy, typography, composition, color, and brand consistency across all deliverables.

Concept Development & Visual Direction

• Contribute ideas during discovery, brainstorming, and concept-development sessions.
• Collaborate with creative leadership to develop mood boards, style frames, and visual approaches when a project is still taking shape.
• Take ownership of visual direction for select projects when appropriate, carrying the work from initial concept through final execution.

Technical Production

• Prepare assets for use across LED walls, projection systems, touchscreens, interactive software, web experiences, print, and environmental applications.
• Work with developers, technologists, fabricators, and production partners to ensure designs are visually effective and technically executable.
• Adapt creative work to nontraditional formats, resolutions, aspect ratios, viewing distances, and physical environments.

Collaboration

• Participate actively in creative reviews, critique, and iteration cycles.
• Communicate design rationale clearly and incorporate feedback from internal stakeholders and clients.
• Maintain organized project files, shared libraries, and documentation so work can move efficiently across disciplines.

Quality & Delivery

• Ensure all deliverables meet established creative standards, brand requirements, and technical specifications.
• Review work carefully for accuracy, consistency, hierarchy, and production readiness.
• Manage multiple assignments and deadlines while maintaining a high level of craft and attention to detail.
