A small, high end, full service interior design firm based in Los Angeles is seeking a Senior Designer/Project Manager to oversee multiple projects from start to finish throughout all phases of the design process.
Our current projects include Spanish estates in Montecito and Malibu, a post modern masterpiece in Beverly Hills, a new retail concept in Culver City and many more.

As such, creative dexterity, a love for eclecticism and an appreciation of many architectural styles and periods is paramount to success in this position. No less important is the ability to be sensitive to clients’ needs, lifestyles, timelines, budgets and desire for homes that are as livable as they are beautiful.
The right candidate must have 3-5 years experience in the industry (both in decor and construction) in a similar role, familiarity with international and local design resources, a strong work ethic, ability to think creatively and multitask effectively between projects and clients in a fast paced, fun environment.

-Collaborating with Principal on schematic design and design development
-Collaborating with Principal on the design of custom furnishings and architectural features
-Creating design presentations and preparing material and mood boards for client meetings
-Sourcing furniture, fixtures, finishes and fabric through local and online resources
-Drafting plans and elevations in AutoCAD
-Creating and working in 3D models
-Generating proposals and purchase orders in Ivy
-Overseeing the progress of custom commissions
-Developing and maintaining furnishing and construction schedules
-Developing and maintaining project budgets and spec books
-Liaising with clients, consultants and vendors
-Assisting the Principal with installs, styling and photoshoots
