is looking for a 3D Designer

Remote

ContraBureau is a multidisciplinary creative studio specializing in campaigns, brands, and spaces.

Our collective experiences are what led us to a moment of objection. A realization that creative work can be sharper, bolder, and more human. We believe that art can be functional and strategy can be beautiful. Our studio finds power in culture and those who want to redefine it. Real people and voices that don’t sound the same. Because once the minds behind the work become different, the work will follow. We believe that equal representation is our resilience, and the guiding force for everything we do.

As our company grows, we are on the constant lookout for design talent, passionate about culture and design, and excited to support our creative team in a dynamic work environment.
