Overview
Squishable is a close-knit team of designers, artists, pop-culture fanatics, and lovers of all things adorable. Together we create the cutest, cuddliest (and sometimes downright unusual) plush and lifestyle products in the world. With the millions-strong Squishable fan community cheering us on (and a lot of cupcakes, coffee, and karaoke) we make people say “awww.” Our offices are in a sunny SoHo loft in NYC and in downtown Washington, DC. Calling all actors, performers, improv lovers, and big personalities! This holiday season, Squishable is bringing a playful new pop-up experience to Mall of America — and we’re looking for energetic performers to help bring it to life. Our immersive Plush Parlor experience will transport guests into a colorful, whimsical world inspired by the fun and personality of Squishable. As a Temporary Experience Performer, you’ll become part of that world, interacting with guests, playing a character, creating memorable moments, and helping make every visit feel like an experience rather than just a trip to the store.
