• Develop space planning, FF&E selections, and finish/material schedules that reflect Studio H's design point of view
• Coordinate directly with architects, contractors, engineers, and trades to ensure design intent translates cleanly into buildable documents
• Present concepts and documentation to clients with polish and confidence
• Mentor and direct junior designers on both design and drafting standards
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of building codes, permitting requirements, and construction methods
• Manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced studio environment

What You Bring

• 5+ years of interior design experience, ideally in high-end residential or hospitality
• Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD for construction document production (non‑negotiable)
• Working knowledge of SketchUp, Revit, and/or Adobe Creative Suite a plus
• A strong aesthetic point of view balanced with meticulous technical accuracy
• Deep understanding of construction processes, building codes, and CD sets
• Bachelor's degree in Interior Design, Architecture, or related field
• Excellent communication and client‑facing presentation skills
• A collaborative, detail‑oriented, solutions‑first mindset
