Traveling Architectural Interior Designer

Kari Whitman Interiors is an upscale interior design-build firm known for its creativity and innovative design solutions in both the residential and commercial worlds. We're seeking an experienced Architectural Interior Designer to join our team that has strong skills in high-end commercial and/or residential design-builds and is very comfortable using AutoCAD, Revit or Rhino. The person in this role will enjoy traveling 10 days per month to our Boulder, CO office and will be involved with projects both in Los Angeles and Boulder.
