Senior Interior Designer

Designers are the creative engine of our project teams, pushing boundaries, exploring fresh territory, and solving complex challenges to help our clients achieve their vision. While stylistic influences come and go, at Huntsman, we utilize our experience and expertise to build stunning, inspiring, functional, and enduring solutions focused on wellness, inclusion, and sustainability. Our designers strive for substance in their work - technically, creatively, and socially.

Our process is grounded in research, common sense, and boundary-pushing creativity. It spans everything from finding harmonious, code-compliant space-planning solutions to designing beautiful and functional casework. We design for our clients, not for our own egos. Our design is a team endeavor, with creative expression and meaningful projects as the ultimate reward.
