Job Description

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.

Employment & Benefits
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.

How to Apply
To be considered, please email with the following:

Cover letter
Resume
Portfolio demonstrating relevant residential design work
At least one example of construction documentation or millwork drawings
Desired salary or compensation range
Your preferred employment arrangement (full-time, part-time, or project-based)
