The ideal candidate has seen the full lifecycle of luxury residential projects from early concept through construction, installation, and closeout, and can translate creative vision into clear, buildable outcomes. You will work closely with studio leadership to develop, document, and execute interiors that are intentional, sophisticated, and rigorously resolved from concept through completion.

• Manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining consistency and rigor
• Support studio standards for documentation, detailing, and execution

• Interested in growing responsibility and influence as the studio expands

• A junior or mid-level training position
• A styling or decor-focused role
