What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Interior Designer position at Studio Balestra?
At Studio Balestra, we craft bespoke interiors and custom furnishings that embody both aesthetic vision and technical precision. As we expand, we seek an exceptional professional who seamlessly blends senior-level interior design with hands-on production management.
In this hybrid role, you will lead design development from concept to detailed execution. You’ll create and present design concepts, produce CAD drawings (plans, elevations, shop drawings), and generate technical drawings for custom furnishings and interiors. Your eye for detail will ensure that every piece meets design intent and client expectations.
- Equally, you’ll manage the production side—coordinating with vendors, overseeing fabrication of custom pieces, and ensuring quality standards are met throughout. You’ll track timelines, budgets, and logistics—ensuring projects are delivered smoothly. In short, you’ll be both a creative visionary and a hands-on executor, working directly with our team and clients to bring designs to life.
