Integrated Design information

What is an integrated design?

An Integrated Design job involves the collaboration of multiple disciplines—such as architecture, engineering, and product design—to create cohesive and efficient solutions. Professionals in this role work to streamline processes, enhance functionality, and ensure sustainability by integrating different perspectives and technologies. They often use design thinking and digital tools to improve workflows and project outcomes. Integrated design is commonly applied in industries like construction, manufacturing, and technology, where interdisciplinary coordination is essential.

What can you do with an integrated design degree?

An integrated design degree prepares individuals for roles in product, graphic, or user experience design, combining creativity with technical skills such as CAD, Adobe Creative Suite, or prototyping tools. Graduates can work in industries like technology, manufacturing, or advertising, often collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and applying design thinking principles.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the integrated design position, and why are they important?

To thrive in Integrated Design, you need a strong background in multidisciplinary design principles, user experience, and systems thinking, often supported by a degree in design, engineering, or architecture. Familiarity with CAD software, prototyping tools, project management platforms, and industry-standard certifications such as LEED or PMP are frequently beneficial. Strong collaboration, creative problem-solving, and effective communication help set successful Integrated Designers apart. These competencies are essential for developing holistic design solutions that meet functional, aesthetic, and stakeholder requirements in complex project environments.

What are the primary responsibilities and typical team dynamics for someone in an integrated design role?

Integrated Design professionals are responsible for coordinating diverse design elements—such as architecture, engineering, and user experience—to create unified, optimized solutions that address both client goals and user needs. This role usually involves collaborating closely with multidisciplinary teams, including architects, engineers, product managers, and clients, to ensure seamless integration across all project phases. Team dynamics often require regular workshops, brainstorming sessions, and iterative feedback to refine and align designs. As a result, Integrated Designers must be comfortable with both individual tasks and active participation in group settings, making flexibility and communication key to success in this collaborative environment.

Job description

Join the 2025 AIA Firm Award Winner shaping a more sustainable future.
LPA is a collective of designers, engineers, and researchers committed to tackling the biggest issues of our time. Our "No Excuses" integrated design approach was recognized by the AIA as "a trailblazer in sustainable, high-performance architecture". At LPA you'll be part of the team that is changing the way the industry thinks about design and carbon emissions, built around the belief that we only achieve our goals when everybody has a seat at the table and all input is valued.
We're currently seeking an Architecture Project Manager to join our dynamic Sacramento studio. You'll be part of a culture that values deep collaboration, technical excellence, and continual growth. Examples of projects completed by our Sacramento studio include South Lake Tahoe High School, 660 J and Redding Rancheria. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across our studios in California and Texas-and help bring high-performance, community-first design to life.
What You'll Do:
  • Take ownership of projects from inception to completion, contributing across all phases and ensuring design excellence, technical accuracy, and successful delivery.
  • Lead the achievement of project goals, including integrated design and planning objectives, budget adherence, schedule management, and overall financial performance.
  • Develop and manage project schedules, budgets, and work plans throughout all phases.
  • Oversee contracts, financials, and construction administration with accuracy and accountability.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, builders, governing authorities, stakeholders, and internal team members.
  • Review and guide research into products, systems, and construction methods to support project innovation and quality.
  • Serve as the Architect of Record, providing professional oversight, signing, and stamping project documentation as required.
  • Mentor, coach, and support the professional growth of team members by sharing knowledge, training, and leadership.

What We Offer:
At LPA, your growth and contributions matter. We foster a collaborative culture where creative ideas are valued, and voices are heard.
  • Mentorship from Managing Directors, Design Directors, and senior team members across disciplines.
  • Career development support, including professional development grants and in-house training.
  • Ongoing education through LPA+U courses and Tech Talks focused on innovative, sustainable practices.
  • 8 paid hours of volunteer time each year.
  • Opportunities to propose and lead projects that impact your local community, including more than $1 million since 2015 in Habitat for Humanity builds, scholarships, and other pro bono community projects.
  • Access to our Professional Development Grants program, created to encourage professional development and further LPA's collective knowledge as a firm. Over the life of the grant program, we have invested $1,196,890 and impacted 848 LPA employees.

What We're Looking For:
Required:
  • Bachelor's and/or Master's Degree in Architecture.
  • 10+ years of experience in all phases of architectural projects.
  • Active architecture license in California.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Project and Excel.
  • Knowledge in management of project business: scope, fee, schedule, work plans and budget.

Preferred:
  • Knowledge of Revit and Adobe Create Suite.

LPA is an integrated design firm with offices in California and Texas, focused on creating forward-thinking, sustainable spaces that make a positive impact. We believe great design begins with great people, which is why we foster a supportive, collaborative environment where creativity, curiosity, and professional growth are encouraged. Our culture values diversity, promotes wellness, and supports a healthy work-life balance. At LPA, we offer competitive salaries and a robust benefits package-including health and dental insurance, retirement and financial planning, wellness initiatives, and flexible work/life programs.
This position is eligible for an annual bonus. If you are hired at LPA, your base salary is based on factors such as geographic location, skills, education, experience and/or project complexity. We believe in the importance of pay equity and consider the internal equity of our current team members as part of any final offer.
LPA uses E-Verify to confirm the employment eligibility of new hires.
