Collaborator Program

Join Our Collaborator Program

ATÖLYE is building a dynamic pool of freelance collaborators to partner with us on projects that tackle complex, meaningful challenges. We’re especially looking for experienced professionals in experience design, architecture, learning design, project management, branding/marketing, and strategic design—but we also welcome diverse backgrounds across the broader design spectrum.

As a collaborator, you might join us on a short-term project or become a long-term partner—some even transition into full-time roles. What connects us is a shared commitment to designing with purpose, working collaboratively across disciplines, and contributing to a values-driven community.

If you’re someone who thrives in a self-managed environment, values cultural sensitivity, and believes in the power of storytelling and design to create lasting impact, we’d love to hear from you.

Note: 

While we deeply appreciate every expression of interest, please note that we may not be able to respond to all applicants individually. We will reach out if and when there is a relevant opportunity that aligns with your background and our project needs. Thank you for your understanding.

What we're looking for:

• Advanced proficiency in English.
• Fluency in frameworks such as design thinking or human-centered design.
• Ability to take a designerly approach against challenges to be able to quickly ideate, prototype, release, and iterate.
• Ability to comfortably interact in different environments such as in workshops, interviews, meeting settings etc.
• Confidence in communication towards expressing needs, thoughts and concepts.
• Having an optimistic attitude with the ability to embrace ambiguity.
• Willingness to learn and use new digital and physical tools.
