Careers

Our storytellers, technologists and artists find design inspiration in the unexpected—whether it’s the vibrant patterns of hot air balloons, or ripples of water at Brooklyn Bridge Park. 

ESI Creative Director Jonathan Grimm draws inspiration from Emma Lazarus’ poem, The New Colossus, which extols America’s welcoming spirit to those seeking a safe harbor, when designing the Statue of Liberty Museum’s digital content.
