  • Assist in preparing client presentations using Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop and InDesign experience is a plus).
  • Prepare product specifications and assist with pricing and client proposals in Studio Designer.
  • Coordinate with vendors, manufacturers, contractors, and project partners.
  • Support the design team with project documentation, organization, and scheduling.
  • Maintain project accuracy while managing multiple deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

Qualifications:

  • Ability to read and create floor plans, elevations, and technical drawings.
  • Strong understanding of measurements, space planning, and design specifications.
  • Experience with SketchUp and Adobe Photoshop/InDesign is preferred.
  • Experience with Studio Designer is a plus.
  • Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Professional demeanor and client-focused attitude.

  • Has a passion for exceptional interior design.
  • Takes pride in producing accurate, high-quality work.
  • Is organized, dependable, and solutions-oriented.
  • Thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced studio environment.
  • Enjoys learning and growing professionally.
  • Represents our firm with professionalism and integrity.

If you're excited about contributing to thoughtfully designed luxury interiors while working alongside an award-winning team, we'd love to hear from you.
