Job Description:

Hamilford Design is a vibrant and dynamic Interior Architecture and Interior Design Studio based in Notting Hill. We will only consider email applications from London-based candidates.

We're currently seeking an experienced Full-Time London-based Senior Interior Designer to join our team. If you thrive in a fast-paced, creative environment and meet the following criteria, we’d love to hear from you.

What we’re looking for:

• Minimum 1 year’s experience in a UK-focused, high-end residential Senior Interior Design role, managing both projects and teams.
• Excellent written, verbal, and visual communication skills.
• A positive, ‘can-do’ attitude and a collaborative outlook.
• Leading site visits and team meetings.
• Taking accurate minutes and notes.
• Liaising confidently with professional teams on programme and delivery.
• Identifying critical path items and managing long-lead times.
• Ensuring client sign-off before any changes are made.
• Problem-solving on site alongside contractors.
• Experience in team management: training new team members, highlighting development needs, delegating tasks, and overseeing timelines and team output across multiple workstreams.
• Proficiency in VWX preferred (AutoCAD users must be confident in transitioning to VWX full-time).
• Experience using ESTI for procurement and FF&E.
• Familiarity with managing interior design budgets and orchestrating FF&E installation, including overseeing installs with a team member.
• Ability to independently produce high-quality CAD drawings and a strong understanding of tender documentation, including scheduling and time management.
• A clear and methodical approach to the entire design process — from concept to completion.

Team Culture & Responsibilities:

• Collaborate closely with Directors and fellow Senior Designers to foster a supportive and inspiring studio culture.
• Full-Time office-based role with site visits.
• Contribute to streamlining studio processes and supporting the overall vision of the brand.
• Represent Hamilford Design at industry events and support business development.

What we offer:

• A beautiful and bright studio in Notting Hill, nestled in a courtyard alongside top-tier design studios including Lanserring and others.
• A lovely team culture with regular lunches, events, and collaborative energy.
• Work on exceptional residential projects across London and the Cotswolds.
• Involvement in hospitality design for restaurants and bars in Notting Hill, Mayfair, and Portland Place.
• Access to Luxury Property Forum Membership for networking and professional events.
• A fully stocked kitchen with snacks, teas, coffees — and a glass of bubbles on occasion!
• Fantastic local lunch spots and studio outings — plus a summer party and Christmas celebration.
• 4 pm finishes on Fridays, workload permitting.
• Work on Apple Macs, using Vectorworks (VWX), InDesign, and Photoshop.
