  • Coordinate with internal teams, consultants, vendors and fabricators throughout the project lifecycle
  • Assist in mentoring and supporting junior team members within the studio
  • Produce and contribute to high-quality design documentation, drawings and visual presentations


Key Skills / Requirements:

  • 5–8 years of professional experience within architecture, interiors or multidisciplinary design studios
  • Strong hospitality and/or luxury residential project experience preferred
  • Experience working on FF&E packages, furniture selections, finishes and material coordination
  • Excellent design sensibility with a strong eye for detail, materials and spatial experience
