Moontower Design + Build is looking for an experienced
Residential Interior Designer
who can pair strong creative instincts with the rigor required to carry custom residential work from early concept through construction and installation.

At Moontower, interiors are not treated as a separate downstream service. You will work alongside architects, builders, estimators, purchasers, and project managers as part of an integrated design-build team.

The right person will care as much about collaboration, budgets, schedules, documentation, and buildability as they do about color, material, composition, and the client experience.
