This is a freelance role with a New York branding studio whose bottles and decanters actually reach the shelf: physical products for globally launched spirits and fine fragrance houses, not concept renders that die in a deck. The studio has spent 25 years building structural design for luxury consumer goods, and its work is recognised where it counts. You'll join a group of 260 designers and strategists across New York, Paris and Singapore - so the pipeline is real and growing.
  
What makes the work worth your time is the standard being defended. These are products people are meant to pick up and covet. Proportion, material, closure, finish and manufacturability all have to hold up in the hand, not just in a visualisation. That is genuine structural design, and the brief is explicit about the distinction.
  
The Role
You'll develop structural and 3D concepts for premium bottles, decanters, closures and luxury objects - turning creative direction into forms that are both desirable and manufacturable. You'll also design retail environments: displays, fixtures, branded objects. Alongside that, you'll produce sophisticated 3D visualisations that communicate concepts with the tangibility premium positioning demands.
  
The work moves on compressed timelines. You'll explore form, materials and construction largely independently, across fragrance, spirits and luxury categories.
  
The Package
$700 - $850 per day
Hybrid working; NYC-based preferred, open to remote on EST hours
Regular, repeat bookings 
Access to a luxury drinks, beauty and fragrance portfolio that reads as a credential in its own right
  
The Person
You're a 3D, industrial or Product Designer working today in premium consumer goods - likely inside an agency or structural design consultancy. Your portfolio shows real bottles, closures and packaging components, and you understand mechanisms, materials and how things get made.

You're comfortable freelancing, confident working alone at pace, and your rendering is strong enough to make a concept feel real. Fragrance, spirits or luxury retail experience is a distinct advantage.
