Full-service experiential design and immersive fabrication shop
3rd Ave operates a 30,000-sq-ft in-house production facility combining physical fabrication with interactive technology—TouchDesigner, Unity, Unreal Engine, Arduino, and networked control systems (Art-Net). The tech stack reveals a hybrid operation: CAD and BIM for engineering, Node.js and React for web interfaces, real-time graphics pipelines (OpenGL), and embedded systems for on-site interactivity. Hiring is accelerating in manufacturing and senior engineering roles, while pain points center on project delivery timelines and cost control—common friction in bespoke experiential work.
3rd Ave is a Los Angeles-based experiential design and production studio founded in 2013. The company designs and builds immersive brand experiences—including trade shows, pop-ups, launch events, and permanent installations—in-house across fabrication, interactive technology, and creative direction. With 11–50 employees and a 30,000-sq-ft facility, they handle projects from conceptual design through full production and installation. Work spans theming, award shows, and complex custom builds. The company positions itself as a hands-on partner for agencies and brands, offering modular engagement from single-service support to end-to-end execution.
