Senior Interior Designer - Healthcare

Description

Senior Interior Designer — Healthcare

Salt Lake City, Utah | Hybrid

Healthcare design requires more than creating beautiful environments. It demands empathy, technical rigor, thoughtful problem-solving, and an understanding of how design can support patients, families, caregivers, and staff.

At method Studio
, interior designers are part of that conversation from the beginning. They work alongside architects, clients, consultants, and healthcare teams from programming and planning through construction documentation, furniture, and implementation.

We’re looking for a Senior Interior Designer with healthcare experience who can lead that process—and help lead and grow our healthcare market alongside our Principal Architect. This is an opportunity to influence not only individual projects, but the continued development of our healthcare practice.

As a Senior Interior Designer focused on healthcare, you’ll shape environments that balance human experience with demanding operational, technical, and regulatory requirements. You will:

• Partner with our Principal Architect to help lead the healthcare market
  , strengthening our design approach, client relationships, team expertise, and body of work.
• Lead interior design from programming through construction
  , developing solutions that support patient experience, staff workflow, safety, and long-term performance.
• Own the interior design documentation process
  , guiding coordinated DD and CD sets including plans, elevations, RCPs, finish documentation, details, schedules, and specifications.
• Translate design concepts into buildable solutions
  , maintaining design intent while addressing codes, accessibility, infection control, durability, maintenance, and constructability.
• Collaborate with architects, engineers, consultants, contractors, and healthcare teams to resolve complex interdisciplinary conditions.
• Build trusted client relationships
  , facilitating conversations with healthcare leaders, facilities teams, user groups, and other stakeholders.
• Guide and mentor project teams
  , reviewing work and developing designers’ creative and technical capabilities.
• Lead finish, material, furniture, and FF&E development
  , balancing aesthetics with performance, cleanability, lifecycle, budget, and schedule.
• Stay engaged through construction
  , reviewing submittals and shop drawings and helping resolve field conditions while protecting design intent.

You understand that successful healthcare interiors require both empathy and precision. You can think about how a patient experiences a space while understanding what it takes to document, coordinate, and construct it.

You’re also interested in something bigger than leading individual projects. You want to help shape a healthcare practice—building relationships, mentoring teams, strengthening design standards, and working alongside firm leadership to define what comes next.

Help shape a growing market. You’ll work alongside our Principal Architect to help strengthen and advance our healthcare practice, with an opportunity to influence its design direction, team, and future.

Leadership without leaving design behind. You’ll help lead a market and mentor teams while remaining actively involved in creative and technical decisions.

Trust + flexibility. Experienced professionals are given the autonomy to lead within a collaborative, supportive team.
