Designer-in-Residence; Independent, Scottsdale, AZ – Design District

About the Role

bY couTure is offering a unique Designer-in-Residence opportunity for a creative, self-motivated designer or stylist who wants to immerse themselves in the future of climate-adaptive outdoor living
.

This is a non-salaried, independent design residency — ideal for someone looking to grow their experience in modern outdoor systems, connect with high-end clientele, and eventually step into a commission-based design and consulting role within our team.

You’ll work from our Scottsdale showroom
, surrounded by retractable roofs, motorized glass walls, and convertible casitas — the same systems we specify for resorts, rooftop lounges, and luxury residences across the Southwest and Baja corridor.

• Work independently from our studio/showroom space 2–4 days/week
• Learn our product systems, client process, and design approach
• Welcome clients, assist with presentations, or support project sketches
• Optionally take on client consultations and earn commissions on any projects you help close
• Use the space for your own non-competing freelance or design work

• Access to a high-end design space in the Scottsdale Airpark Design District
• Direct mentorship and collaboration with our founder
• Exposure to a national network of clients, architects, and developers
• Eligibility to grow into a commission-based Design Rep role (Adaptive Envelope Design Rep)
• Experience in a rapidly growing design category at the forefront of modern outdoor architecture

• 🚫 This is not a salaried or hourly position
• ✅ You will earn commissions on any project sales you support or close
• 🏗️ This is ideal for a designer building their portfolio, looking for luxury exposure, or seeking to pivot into architectural outdoor design
• 💡 You must have a non-conflicting client base (interiors, landscape, staging, etc. is fine — direct outdoor structure sales are not)

We specialize in design-forward, climate-adaptive outdoor environments — from retractable roof systems and motorized glass walls to convertible patio casitas and poolside cabanas. Our clients include architects, developers, hospitality groups, and private homeowners across Arizona, Baja, and beyond. Learn more at
