Job Details
who we are
Outsiders.
Upstarts.
The little engine that could.
And did.
And keeps doing.
65 years ago, we opened our doors as a one-man industrial design firm in Central New York. With a fresh degree from a leading institution, the easy thing for our founder to do would have been to join a big firm in a big city. But where s the fun in easy?
We scraped. We hustled. We hired. And we grew. A lot. Seriously, a lot.
Today, we re a leading strategic design consultancy with offices in Central New York, Cincinnati, and New York City, and reach that extends around the globe. We re a collective of more than 100 incredibly talented partners who come together every day to create experiences that matter.
Through the unique combination of the insight and strategy expertise of a management consulting firm, the creativity of world-class storytellers and design innovators, and the rapid, in-context prototyping of a manufacturer we ve become indispensable partners to some of the world's best clients. Because we're all wired to ask, 'what else?' to indulge curiosity; to chase possibility; to challenge what's expected and deliver what's remarkable.
We re a little bit different and a lot of bit chaotic but in a good way.
Interested? Read on.
who you are
You're humble.
Confident in who you are and what you're capable of,
but equally aware of how you can learn from others and continue to improve.
You're passionate.
Completely invested in the work you do,
and driven to do what it takes to make it better.
You're collaborative.
Excited by the prospect of coming together with co-workers, clients, and vendors
to turn individual talents into extraordinary collective accomplishments.
Most importantly, you're uniquely, unabashedly, unashamedly you.
There is no singular path to a career at ChaseDesign.
No formula for the perfect strategic design consultant.
We're a merry band of cybrarians, artists, poets, journalists,
designers, engineers, marketers, inventors, founders,
bartenders, parents, data nerds, dreamers...
...you name it, one of us has done it (and probably is still doing it).
Really, it's those differences in background and perspective
that make us, and the work we do, a heck of a lot better.
