With studios in Seattle and Boise, we operate as one collaborative practice, bringing diverse perspectives together to create thoughtful, integrated design.

We are seeking a full-time Interior Designer to join our multidisciplinary team. This is an opportunity to design meaningful environments while collaborating with talented interior designers, architects, landscape architects, and urban designers on a diverse portfolio of projects.

Success in this role is supported by curiosity, flexibility, and a passion for creating exceptional spaces. You bring strong design, visualization, and technical skills; take ownership of your work; communicate with clarity; embrace feedback; and thrive in a collaborative environment. You are energized by solving complex design challenges with creativity, rigor, and attention to detail, while contributing to a culture of trust, learning, and shared success.

Working alongside design leadership and project managers, you will contribute to every phase of the design process—from concept through construction and FF&E implementation. You will transform ideas into coordinated, buildable solutions through drawings, renderings, models, material selections, FF&E packages, graphic presentations, and construction documentation, ensuring design excellence from vision to execution.

• Advance interior design concepts and produce coordinated drawings, models, and documentation across all project phases.
• Prepare design deliverables that align with design intent, project scope, established standards, and technical requirements.

• Conduct code, accessibility, and regulatory research to inform interior design solutions.
• Collaborate with internal teams, consultants, fabricators, product vendors, contractors, and clients to support project delivery and maintain design intent throughout the project lifecycle.
• Coordinate interior design elements with architectural and engineering systems.
• Participate in client meetings and presentations, design reviews, and presentations.
• Support construction-phase activities under the guidance of project leadership, including site visits, submittal reviews, responses to RFIs, and documentation coordination.
• Serve as Interior Designer on small projects with oversight from project leadership.
• Travel to project sites and occasional domestic travel may be required, including walking active construction sites and navigating varying terrain.

What You Will Bring

• Strong design, visualization, and technical skills.
• Proficiency in Revit, Enscape, Adobe Creative Suite or Affinity, Bluebeam, and Microsoft Office.
• A demonstration of conceptual design thinking, clear design narratives, and an ability to advance ideas into thoughtful, buildable solutions.
• Proficiency in finish material selection, specification, and documentation.
• Ability to produce accurate, coordinated construction documentation.
• Understanding of building systems, materials, interior detailing, building codes, accessibility requirements, and construction practices.
• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Sound judgment, adaptability, initiative, accountability, and problem-solving capability.
• Ability to work independently while contributing effectively to a collaborative team.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Communicates clearly, adapts effectively in complex or evolving situations, and actively collaborates with team members across disciplines.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Interior Design, Interior Architecture, or related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 3–7 years of professional experience in commercial interior design or interior architecture.
• Experience in multifamily, hospitality, food and beverage, and/or amenity-driven commercial projects.
• Experience preparing construction documents and coordinating with multidisciplinary teams.
