The posting
BDG architecture + design is looking for a high-energy Senior Creative Designer with a background in interior architecture, workplace design and/or spatial branding to join our London studio.
This is a senior creative role for someone who can shape both the idea and the story around it. Working closely with the BDG Lead and studio leadership, you’ll take a leading role in developing compelling RFP pitch stories and guiding creative projects from concept through to delivery.
You’ll combine strong creative vision with the ability to communicate ideas clearly through narrative, visuals, space and experience. Alongside client work, you’ll contribute to internal brand initiatives and help shape the broader strategic direction of the studio.
We’re looking for someone who enjoys defining the big idea, building a compelling story and bringing people with them—not simply delivering the final design.
We are BDG
BDG architecture + design is a multidisciplinary studio of architects, interior designers, strategists and technology experts, based on London’s South Bank.
We specialise in adaptive reuse, workplace design and people-focused environments. Our studio ethos is not to follow fashion, but to dig deep and find innovative solutions for each project. We believe great design should enhance people’s lives, and we’re looking for someone who shares our ambition to think bigger, bolder and better.
BDG is part of WPP and the Landor Group of specialist companies, giving us access to a global network of creative talent, technology, specialist AI tools and ambitious clients. This unique position allows us to collaborate across disciplines, bringing together architecture, interiors, brand, experience, commerce and technology.

- Support and mentor junior team members, sharing knowledge and helping to raise the quality of creative output across the studio.
