Build the public rise of a major artist. Role is in-person in Brooklyn with travel to major installs and art events.
Role
BREAKFAST is a kinetic artist creating a new category of physical art — living sculptures driven by data, engineering, and motion.
The work is reaching major museums, high-level collectors, and global public spaces — and we are just getting started.
Now we are looking for the person who can build the next phase of this rise: grow BREAKFAST into a globally known creative figure — using storytelling, modern media, and strategic brand building.
This is not just a content job. This is not just a videographer role. This is a creator brand architect role.
You are the person who says: "I know how creators become iconic — and I want to build that with someone who isn't just a personality, but a real artist."
What You'll Do
Build and execute the strategy to grow the public presence and cultural impact of a rising contemporary artist
Develop social concepts, formats, and series arcs
Craft a video presence that feels premium, thoughtful, cinematic
Build presence across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, earned media
Capture and edit moments inside the studio and on installations
Drive momentum — spotting what matters and amplifying it fast
Turn the artist into a magnet for collectors, institutions, and attention
Balance mystique with access; elegance with reach
You aren't here to shoot content. You're here to build cultural gravity.
Who You Are
You've helped grow a creator / founder / personality brand
You know social strategy: retention, hooks, arcs, tone
You understand TikTok/Instagram discovery without falling into gimmicks
You have taste — cinematic eye, storytelling instincts
You move fast, iterate, experiment, take initiative
You get energy from momentum
You want to help build a legacy, not just rack views
You admire artists, architects, innovators
You love the idea of helping the world recognize someone before everyone else does
You're hungry. You're scrappy. You see the world in narrative.
You believe you could build MrBeast — but refined, tasteful, and art-world aligned.
Not For
Corporate "brand managers"
Videographers who want direction
People who need permission to act
"Influencer energy"
People who chase trends instead of designing them
This is for the builder behind the scenes — the one who wants to make someone culturally inevitable.

Creative
Concept & Visualization Designer
Role
BREAKFAST is creating a new category of physical art — living, data-driven sculptures that respond to the world.
Our work exists in museums, public spaces, and private collections globally — and we are just beginning.
We are looking for a Concept & Visualization Designer who can help shape what comes next: a hands-on creative who can take raw artistic ideas and evolve them into compelling visual studies, forms, materials, scale, and movement.
This is not a rendering production job. This is a creative collaboration role — one with impact, authorship, and evolution. You will sit close to the artist, helping transform imagination into visual reality.
What You'll Do
Translate sketches, 3D models, and loose ideas into visual studies and variations
Explore form, space, motion, material, and scale
Create 3D concepts, studies, animations, and renders
Develop visual directions and help refine the "world" of the work
Iterate rapidly — exploring possibilities, not polishing prematurely
Place work in environments — homes, public spaces, architectural renderings
Bring cinematic taste to every deliverable
Who You Are
A strong visual thinker — you think in form, space, movement, light
Skilled in 3D (Solidworks / Onshape / Fusion / Rhino / Blender / Maya / Unity / Unreal / KeyShot or similar)
Able to render beautifully — or learn fast and get there
Hands-on with materials, textures, and physicality (not just digital polish)
You iterate fast and explore possibilities, not just execute instructions
You get energy from experimentation and solving creative puzzles
You can go from napkin sketch → 3D study → refined concept → presentation
You admire architecture, sculpture, industrial design, computational art
You care about taste, restraint, elegance, and intentional form
You're hungry to grow and contribute to something meaningful and lasting
You want to be in the room where new ideas form — and help shape them
Not For
"Just tell me what to model" minds
People who only polish final renders
Corporate design thinkers
People who need detailed direction
Artists who want to be the center — this is a collaboration, not self-promotion
People with rigid ego and no curiosity
This role is for someone who wants to stand at the frontier of physical art and contribute to work that will exist long after us.
Practical Notes
In-person role in Brooklyn
Works alongside the artist and core creative team
Full-time with growth path
Travel occasionally for site visits / installations

You'll also be hands-on with deployment, and live support at major installs around the world. When something new and mission critical is going up in a plaza in Tokyo or a lobby in New York, you'll be the person who makes sure it works. You'll also help grow and mentor the software team over time, contributing to hiring and shaping how we build into the future.
Responsibilities
Own and maintain system design and software architecture across the studio's projects
Backend and systems, firmware, and UI; you're comfortable at every layer of the stack

Solid understanding of networking stacks, distributed systems, and concurrency
Good experience with UI development and web frameworks
Experience with embedded systems, serial protocols, and real-time constraints
Strong math and physics fundamentals
A natural problem-solver who thrives wearing many hats in a small, fast-moving team
Able to deliver under pressure on mission-critical, high-visibility projects
