VANCOUVER/CALGARY/TORONTO OFFICE Senior Experiential Designer

We have an opportunity in our Vancouver, Calgary or Toronto office for a Senior Experiential Designer to join our team.

Welcome to Kasian, where almost 40 years of design excellence has sparked a passion for transforming ordinary spaces into extraordinary experiences.

Experiential design, or User Experience Design, offers a way to design environments that embody identity, capture memory, and foster belonging. Rather than serving as static decor, these art forms evolve with their communities. As interior design evolves, physical spaces are increasingly integrating multi-sensory elements to enhance the human experience. The ideal candidate will be responsible for designing and creating these memorable experiences. This design asset will further connect people to place and provide unique solutions tailored to our clients' culture and brand.
The individual will use their creative expertise and understanding of experiential design to create impactful, multi-sensory experiences within the built environment.

This role will expand the firm's user experience design offering across all sectors: Workplace, Hospitality, Government, Commercial, Senior Living and Healthcare. Consult with colleagues and clients to understand their design needs and objectives relative to experiential design as an art form. Art can play a role when it is approached not as decoration, but as cultural infrastructure – a system that reflects identity, fosters dialogue, and adapts over time
