What is set design?

Set design is the process of creating the physical surroundings in which a film, television show, theater production, or other performance takes place. Set designers are responsible for conceptualizing and building the scenery, backdrops, and props that help bring a script to life and establish the mood and setting. Their work involves collaborating with directors, producers, and other designers to ensure the visual environment supports the story and artistic vision. Set design combines creativity, technical skills, and a strong understanding of architecture and spatial planning.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Set Designer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Set Designer, you need a solid background in art, architecture, or theater design, often supported by a relevant degree or portfolio of work. Expertise with design software such as AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Adobe Creative Suite, as well as familiarity with construction methods and materials, is crucial. Creativity, collaboration, and strong communication skills help Set Designers interpret scripts and work effectively with directors and production teams. These abilities ensure that visual environments enhance storytelling and meet both aesthetic and practical production needs.

What is the difference between Set Design vs Scenic Painting?

AspectSet DesignScenic Painting
Primary RoleConceptualizing and designing the overall look of a setApplying paint and finishes to create textures and visual effects on set pieces
Skills NeededDesign, drafting, spatial planning, creativityPainting techniques, color theory, craftsmanship
Work EnvironmentDesign studios, theaters, film setsWorkshop, on-location, studio
Common CredentialsDesign degree or related experienceArt or scenic painting experience, portfolio

Set Design involves creating the overall visual concept and layout of a scene, while Scenic Painting focuses on bringing that vision to life through painting and finishing techniques. Both roles are essential in production, often working closely together, but they require different skill sets and responsibilities.

How does a Set Designer typically collaborate with directors and other creative departments during a production?

Set Designers work closely with directors to understand the vision and mood of the production, ensuring the set supports storytelling and character development. They also coordinate with departments such as lighting, props, and costume to ensure all design elements are cohesive and technically feasible. Regular meetings and design presentations help align everyone’s efforts and resolve any logistical challenges early in the process. This collaborative approach is crucial for creating immersive and functional environments on stage or screen.

Wenz Home Furniture

Green Bay, WI

$25 - $50/hr

Full-time

Retirement, PTO

Posted 10 days ago

Job description

Interior Design Consultant - Furniture & Home Design On-Site Full-Time (Part-Time Considered) Green Bay, WI $18-$22/hr base + uncapped performance bonus - strong performers realize $25-$50+/hr

Our highest-touch client role: lead full residential design projects, from first consultation to final delivery, at a company that values the craft. This is not an entry-level position.

How we work - and how we don't. We're a team. Our salespeople help all clients, cover for each other, and help close one another's projects, because a great client experience is what we do. If you've been burned out by cutthroat, every-rep-for-themselves sales, this will be refreshing.

About Wenz Wenz is a locally owned, family-operated furniture and design company in Green Bay - 25+ years in business, focused on creating an exceptional client experience end to end. We're small and tight-knit; your work directly shapes how clients feel and what kind of company we keep building.

Requirements

What you'll do Our clients often arrive overwhelmed and afraid of an expensive mistake. You're the trusted guide who turns that into confidence and excitement. You'll own residential projects end to end:

  • Lead full design consultations - listen deeply, ask the right questions, build a clear vision
  • Create space plans, layouts, and full-solution design proposals
  • Guide clients through furniture, fabric, and finish selections that fit their style and budget
  • Own each project from first consult through delivery and follow-up
  • Manage your own pipeline and follow up consistently
  • Build referral relationships with builders, designers, architects, and trades

What we're looking for

  • A degree or formal training in interior design, interior architecture, or a closely related field
  • Hands-on experience running design projects concept-to-completion
  • A portfolio or track record you're proud of (we'll ask to see it)
  • Confidence in space planning and residential furniture selection
  • Strong, consultative sales instincts - great design earns the client, and you're still comfortable asking for the sale
  • Excellent follow-through and communication

Furniture-retail background is a plus, not a requirement - we've hired strong designers from residential firms, staging companies, and architecture practices. If you can read a room and build a client relationship, we can teach the rest.

A few honest details On-site in Green Bay. Our showroom is open 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, so schedule flexibility (including some Saturdays) is part of the job. We create schedules monthly so you can plan your life.

Benefits

Compensation & benefits

  • $18-$22/hr base, plus an uncapped bonus tied to written and delivered sales. Strong performers realize $25-$50+/hr.
  • Paid time off 401(k) eligibility employee furniture discount
  • Predictable, monthly-set schedule
  • Growth path into Lead Specialist and senior design leadership

Our values (we actually live these): Gratitude Proactive Performance People First Ownership Adaptability Contribution Elevate the Standard.

Newer to design but great with people and eager to learn? Our Furniture Sales Associate role may fit better. Apply here - we review every application and follow up personally.
