Lola Creative is a bold event design and production company specializing in transformative environments, event fabrication, and artful design. Our clients are prominent corporations, innovative organizations, and private families.

We conceptualize big ideas and give them shape. Our goal is to connect humans to each other, their world, and shine a light on all the good our local organizations do.

Job Summary:

This is a leadership role in our company. You will be the key person to social and corporate clients and will work closely with the creative director to ensure designs meet intent and creative goals.

We will hire you because you are a great fit for our company, are adept at taking a good idea, communicating that idea visually, and executing it.
