• Assist with custom millwork and cabinetry development.
• Research products, pricing, availability, lead times, and alternates.
• Prepare client presentations and specification materials in Canva and other platforms.
• Visit NYC showrooms, vendors, fabricators, and project sites as needed.
• Conduct sit tests and evaluate furniture, materials, finishes, and samples in person.
• Communicate with vendors and obtain quotes, samples, specifications, and product information.
• Assist with procurement, order tracking, expediting, and installation coordination.
• Maintain project schedules, specifications, selections, and design documentation.
• Coordinate with contractors, mill workers, architects, consultants, and other project partners as needed.
• Help troubleshoot design and field conditions as projects move through construction.
• Participate in client meetings and site visits when appropriate.
• Support multiple residential and commercial projects simultaneously.

• Experienced in residential and/or commercial interior design.

• Comfortable working independently in a primarily remote environment.

• AutoCAD
• Google Workspace
• Microsoft Office
• Strong sourcing and specification skills
• Ability to read and develop interior design drawings

• Revit
• 3D modeling and rendering
• Experience with commercial or hospitality projects
• Strong familiarity with NYC-area showrooms, vendors, and trade resources

We are less concerned with a specific number of years than we are with your ability to demonstrate that you can independently contribute to active design projects.

An intermediate designer with approximately 3-7+ years of professional interior design experience will likely be the strongest fit, but we are open to someone outside that range with an exceptional portfolio and the right experience.

A degree in Interior Design, Interior Architecture, Architecture, or a related field is preferred.

This is a part-time position averaging approximately 20 hours per week, with hours potentially increasing or decreasing depending on project workload.

The position is primarily remote, but you must be local to New York City and available for in-person project needs, including site visits, showroom appointments, sourcing trips, installations, and vendor meetings.

Brooklyn-based candidates are especially encouraged to apply.

Some flexibility in scheduling is important. There is potential for this position to grow into a larger or full-time role as the firm and project pipeline continue to expand.

Hourly, commensurate with experience and capabilities.
