Job description

We’re growing and looking for talented, technically strong Interior Designers to join our team.

We’re interested in meeting qualified designers with a range of professional experience—from designers earlier in their careers with strong technical training and a solid design foundation to experienced professionals ready to lead projects and take on greater responsibility.

Across every level, we’re looking for strong design instincts, technical proficiency, attention to detail, and a genuine passion for thoughtful residential design. Just as important, we value people who care deeply about the quality of their work, enjoy being part of a collaborative studio, and are eager to contribute and continue growing professionally.

We are open to full-time, part-time, and project-based opportunities depending on experience, capabilities, and fit.

About the Role

Working closely with our Director of Design and design team, you will contribute to the development and execution of full-scope residential design projects from concept through implementation.

The scope and level of responsibility will reflect the experience of the individual. More experienced designers should be prepared to lead projects through multiple phases, help guide design direction, manage client and consultant communication, coordinate with architects, builders, and trades, and contribute to the development of junior team members.

Responsibilities may include

• Developing design concepts and contributing to overall project vision
• Creating space plans and developing interior architectural details
• Selecting furnishings, fixtures, finishes, and materials
• Preparing FF&E specifications and schedules
• Developing project budgets and procurement documentation
• Producing detailed construction documentation and millwork drawings in Revit
• Preparing for and participating in client meetings and design presentations
• Visiting job sites and coordinating with builders, architects, and trades
• Sourcing furniture, materials, and finishes from high-end vendors
• Managing project organization and documentation throughout all phases of design
• Leading projects or significant portions of projects, based on experience

The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for professionally trained designers who are both creatively driven and technically capable, with the skills and experience to contribute meaningfully to sophisticated residential design projects.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design, Architecture, or a closely related field
• Professional interior design experience, preferably within high-end residential design, new construction, or renovation
• Strong proficiency in Revit, including construction documentation and millwork detailing
• Excellent technical drawing and detailing skills
• Strong design sensibility and demonstrated ability to translate a concept through detailed execution
• Familiarity with high-end residential vendors, furnishings, finishes, and materials
• Understanding of the residential construction process
• Experience working in the field and on active residential job sites is a plus
• Strong organizational, written, verbal, and project management skills
• High level of attention to detail and commitment to thoughtful, accurate work
• Ability to work independently while contributing effectively within a collaborative team
• Curiosity, initiative, professionalism, and a desire to continue growing as a designer

The appropriate level of responsibility will vary based on experience. We are less focused on a specific number of years than on demonstrated design ability, technical capability, relevant professional experience, and the value you can bring to our team and projects.

We are open to full-time, part-time, and contract opportunities depending on experience and fit. This is an in-studio position in Rhode Island; fully remote candidates will not be considered.

For eligible full-time positions, benefits include:

• Medical and dental insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid vacation and holidays
• Four-day work week (Monday–Thursday)

Compensation is commensurate with experience, capabilities, and employment structure.
