You don't need to be an expert in every program, but you must have strong drafting skills and be able to quickly learn our Chief Architect workflow.

• Degree or coursework in Interior Design, Architecture, Drafting, or a related field (preferred)
• 1–3 years of relevant experience (preferred)
• Strong architectural/interior drafting skills
• Understanding of residential interiors, cabinetry, kitchens, bathrooms, and millwork

This is not a drafting-only position. You'll see projects move through the entire residential design-build process, from initial design and drawings through material selections, construction, installation, and the completed home. You'll also help document that process and share our work through social media and brand content.

For someone interested in both residential design and visual storytelling, this is a chance to build a broad range of skills while working closely with an active design‑build team.
