Job description

We are recruiting for a mid-level Interior Designer with experience running Multifamily projects from inception to completion for a CONTRACT role.

If you are an experienced multifamily designer who wants range, ownership, and a direct line to the people making the decisions rather than being one small piece of a large firm, this role was built for you. You will also learn an approach to multifamily design you will not find anywhere else.

Firm:

We are a founder-led studio designing multifamily communities with a hospitality sensibility, and we are growing quickly. Everything we do begins with the client. We listen first, learn what they are reaching for, and use design to carry their vision further than they pictured, never to override it with our own. We keep our practice deliberately focused, which means the designer we bring on works directly with the principals and takes real ownership of their work from day one. We lead our projects at the start, and as you grow with us, so does your ownership of them. You will have a real voice in how the studio grows, with us right beside you, invested in your work and glad to share what we know.

Role:

• Translate the client’s vision into complete interior design packages for multifamily communities across garden, mid-rise, and high-rise developments, from concept through construction and installation
• Produce FF&E specifications, schedules, material boards, and construction documentation
• Develop multisensory design narratives and presentation materials alongside us
• Work directly with clients, vendors, consultants, and project teams
• Lead site visits, field verification, installations, and punch walks
• Help build our Revit standards, workflows, and documentation systems as we continue our transition into Revit
• Keep projects aligned with design intent, budget, and timeline

Qualifications:

• A client-first instinct. You listen closely, understand what the client is reaching for, and use your skill to elevate their vision rather than replace it.
• Real passion for the work and the confidence to share your point of view, with expertise we can learn from.
• Ownership and follow-through. Once you understand the vision, you can run with a project and keep it moving.
• Open and curious. You pick up a new approach quickly and make it your own.
• At least two multifamily projects taken the full distance, from vision through SD, DD, and CD and into the field. We value designers who have seen projects through construction, because the most important lessons in multifamily design are learned when drawings become reality.
• Mid-rise or high-rise experience matters most, since these take years to complete and the complexity is where real judgment is built. Garden-style work is welcome, but on its own it is not enough.
• Strong Revit proficiency is required. You will play an active role in helping establish standards, workflows, and best practices as we continue our transition into Revit. You also work confidently in AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Adobe Creative Suite. Enscape is a plus.
• Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design or a closely related field.
• NCIDQ certification, or progress towards it, is a plus.

Why us?

• Direct access to the principals and a real voice in where the studio goes
• You will work directly alongside us on client strategy, design development, presentations, site visits, and business growth
• Real projects waiting for you from week one
• Real ownership of your work, not a sliver of someone else’s project, with room to take on more as you grow
• A hand in shaping and scaling the systems we already have in place as the studio grows
• Our intention is for this position to grow into a Senior Interior Designer role as the studio grows. We are looking for someone who wants to build a long-term career and help shape the next chapter of the firm.
