Designer

We are a small studio with immense opportunity for involvement at every level of the design process!

Aceto Kimball Landscape Architecture (AKLA) was forged in the high Rockies of Colorado and refined along the New England coast. Today, our work spans landscapes across the country, with studios in Portland, Maine, and Jackson, New Hampshire. AKLA is proudly rooted in New England with a national reach.

We are committed to thoughtful design intervention at the intersection of community, environment, art, and economics. Interested candidates are encouraged to learn more about our work on Instagram at @acetokimball and on our website at acetokimball.com.

Please do not hesitate to reach out with questions.

We’re looking for a highly ambitious designer who wants to make things — a creative, curious, and self-motivated person who is excited to jump into a fast-moving design studio and contribute across a wide range of project types and scales.

This role is ideal for someone who loves design, communicates clearly, takes initiative, and wants to be part of a collaborative studio culture. The right candidate will be comfortable moving between big-picture concept work and detailed technical production, helping transform early ideas into compelling visuals, clear documentation, and built work.

Responsibilities may include:

• Creating 3D models, plan renderings, perspective renderings, and presentation graphics

• Preparing AutoCAD plans, details, and construction document drawings

• Supporting planting plan concepts and landscape design strategies

• Participating in concept design, iterative sketching, and studio design charrettes

• Contributing to internal design conversations with energy, curiosity, and strong visual thinking

• Communicating clearly and consistently with project teams

• Prioritizing tasks and meeting project deadlines

• Attending site visits, documenting existing conditions, and taking site photos

• Preparing meeting notes for record keeping and team distribution

Ideal candidates should be proficient in:

• Adobe Creative Suite, especially Photoshop and InDesign

• SketchUp

• AutoCAD

• GIS

• Lumion

• Zoom

We’re looking for someone who is talented, driven, organized, and eager to grow — someone who brings strong design instincts, a sharp eye, and the motivation to help push good ideas into great work.
