Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance

KieranTimberlake is currently seeking a Graphic Designer to join our office. Our design practice includes over 100 professionals with diverse backgrounds and abilities and is recognized worldwide. With equal emphasis on research, communications, and the built environment, our projects include the programming, planning, and design of new structures as well as the transformation of existing buildings.

The end result is artfully integrated, high quality structures that serve our clients' needs and push the practice of architecture forward.
