Job description

Design something you're proud to put your name on. Help your client say yes. See it built.

You love working through a floor plan. You have opinions about cabinetry, proportion, and finishes. You enjoy the conversation where a client starts getting excited about their home, and you're comfortable asking them to move forward.

We want to meet you.

Le Gourmet Kitchen has spent more than 30 years designing kitchens and bathrooms for Orange County homeowners. We're an established business with a small team, direct involvement from the owners, and ambitions for our next chapter.

We're looking for a designer with taste, technical ability, and the drive to win business. Someone who wants ownership of the client relationship and takes pride in both the design and the sale.

You'll work with homeowners making a meaningful investment in their homes. Your job starts with listening: how they live, what frustrates them, what they want to change, and what they're prepared to invest. From there, you'll develop a direction they understand, believe in, and feel ready to move forward with.

You'll create space plans, cabinetry layouts, material selections, and detailed drawings. You'll present your ideas, explain your recommendations, discuss budgets openly, and guide clients through design retainers, proposals, and signed agreements.

You'll own the follow-up. Keep track of commitments. Ask thoughtful questions when a client hesitates. Ask for the sale when the project is right. Work with our team and project partners to carry the agreed design through ordering and installation, staying involved when details need attention.

The appeal here is personal involvement. You'll work directly with the owners, help shape the client experience, and contribute ideas as we grow. In a small company, your decisions and your results have a visible impact.

Our work includes premium cabinetry, including Dutch Made, Grabill and kitchen and bathroom projects where layout, materials, and execution deserve close attention. Bring a point of view, and be ready to explain why your recommendations serve the client.

You should bring at least three years of kitchen and bathroom design experience, a portfolio of completed work, and confidence discussing construction details. You understand cabinetry, space planning, materials, and the practical requirements of a remodel. You're comfortable producing drawings in Chief Architect or comparable software.

Sales experience matters. We want to hear how you've earned trust, handled objections, followed up, and turned a design opportunity into a signed project. Organization matters too. Your clients should feel your attention throughout the process.

We'd love to see your work. We'd also love to understand how you work.

One more thing. Our line is Give your home a heart. We mean it. If a kitchen is a transaction to you, we'll bore each other. If a kitchen is where a family's life happens, pull up a chair.
