Interior Design Internship

About Vandelay Companies

Vandelay Companies (VC) has spent the past decade building a strong reputation for delivering memorable, delicious, and polished dining experiences in Dallas, Houston, and Los Angeles—soon expanding to Arizona!

We’re passionate about creating vibrant spaces where people can gather, enjoy great company, and savor incredible food. Our diverse portfolio includes beloved concepts like Hudson House, Drake’s Hollywood, DL Mack’s, and many more.

Interior Design Internship

At VC, we take pride in crafting not just exceptional dining experiences, but also the thoughtfully designed spaces that elevate them. We're excited to offer an internship opportunity for a driven and creative individual to join our design team and gain real-world experience in high-end restaurant and hospitality design.

This internship provides an inside look into the design process—from concept development to on-site visits—with the chance to build your portfolio while working closely with an experienced team.

As an Interior Design Intern, you’ll have the opportunity to


●       Assist in space planning, material selection, and design documentation


●       Support the design team in sourcing finishes, materials, and furnishings


●       Participate in site visits, taking measurements, and helping document existing conditions


●       Work with team members to build design presentations and visual boards


●       Collaborate on multiple projects in various stages, from concept to construction


●       Help maintain design libraries and organize samples

What We’re Looking For


●       Positive, communicative, team-oriented attitude and a self-starter mentality


●       Strong organizational skills and attention to detail


●       Familiarity with materiality, aesthetics, and hospitality space planning


●       A candidate with a portfolio or samples of work required to share for consideration


●       Currently working to obtain a Bachelor’s Degree from a 4-year accredited Interior Design program, or currently enrolled in a CIDA- or NAAB-accredited interior design or architecture program


●       Strong communication and organizational skills with the ability to shift priorities as needed


●       Comfort working on-site and behind a computer (approx. 80% of the time)


●       Knowledge of Google Workspace (Sheets, Docs, Drive)


●       Bonus if able to produce hand-sketched renderings

Compensation & Perks


●       Competitive compensation


●       Mentorship and hands-on experience with a leading hospitality group


●       Exposure to real projects and direct involvement in creative decision-making


●       Flexible schedule to accommodate academic commitments


●       Dining discounts at all Vandelay Companies concepts


●       Opportunity for future full-time consideration based on performance

If you’re passionate about design and eager to make your mark in the hospitality industry, we’d love to hear from you. Please send your resume and portfolio to recruiting@vhghp.com.
