Livable Luxury — Beaufort, South Carolina

Assistant Interior Designer

Full-Time
· Beaufort, SC
· In-Studio

Dana Bacher Design is a boutique, full-service residential design studio serving high-end and luxury clients. We are the designer behind the Southern Living Showcase Home 2025, and are a multi-award-winning design studio. We take a custom, relationship-driven approach to every project — our clients trust us with their homes, and we take that seriously from the first concept sketch through the final install.

Ours is a close-knit team where every member wears multiple hats and takes real pride in the details.

This is a rare opportunity to grow inside an award-winning studio, with a front-row seat to how a boutique design business really runs — from the first concept sketch to the final styled install. You won't be sidelined on busywork: you'll help shape layouts, pull the fabrics and finishes that bring a room to life, and see your ideas make it into real client homes.

If you're an emerging designer who wants mentorship, real creative input, and a portfolio full of beautiful, high-end work, this is the seat you've been looking for.

• Pull fabrics, finishes, and materials, and help prepare presentation boards for client meetings

  Prepare client invoices and maintain accurate project budgets
• Coordinate with vendors, workrooms, and trade partners on lead times and specifications

• Self-motivated and reliable, with strong follow-through on tasks and deadlines
• A hard worker who takes ownership of projects from start to finish
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to juggle multiple projects at once

• Clear, professional communication, both with clients and vendors
• Discretion and good judgment when handling clients' personal information and budgets
• A team-oriented, low-ego attitude and enthusiasm for boutique studio life
• Comfort with design software (AutoCAD, Sketch Up, or Adobe Creative Suite) is a plus
• Familiarity with studio management or ordering platforms (e.g. Design Manager, Studio Designer) is a plus, though we're happy to train
• Degree or coursework in interior design, or equivalent hands-on experience, preferred

• Hands-on mentorship from an award-winning design team — you'll learn by doing, not fetching coffee
• Direct exposure to every stage of a project, from concept through install, on stunning custom residential work
• A portfolio-building opportunity, with the chance to contribute to showcase-caliber projects
