Employment Type:

Full-Time

Responsibilities:
  •  Lead the creative development of interior design concepts from initial vision through design development, ensuring a strong and cohesive design narrative throughout each project.
  • Elevate our already high standard of design by bringing fresh perspectives, thoughtful innovation, and a refined design sensibility.
  • Develop interiors that are conceptually driven and intrinsically connected to the architecture, creating spaces where architecture, interiors, materials, lighting, and detailing work seamlessly together.
  • Curate sophisticated palettes of materials, finishes, furnishings, fixtures, and lighting that reinforce the overall design vision.
  • Collaborate closely with architects, designers, and technologists in a highly integrated studio environment. At SA+D, architecture and interiors are conceived as one unified design process.
  • Clearly communicate design intent through sketches, renderings, presentations, and comprehensive drawing packages, ensuring the original vision is maintained throughout documentation and construction.

  • 7+years of professional interior design experience, preferably with a recognized design-forward architecture or interior design practice.
  • A portfolio demonstrating exceptional conceptual thinking, refined execution, and a consistently high standard of design across a range of project types.

  • Proficiency in Revit is essential.
  • Hospitality experience—including hotels, restaurants, and resort environments—is highly valued.
  • Experience with furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) selection and specification is a strong asset. Procurement experience is beneficial but not required.
  • Demonstrated experience using lighting as an integral component of the architectural and interior design experience.
  • Strong leadership abilities, including client-facing experience, project leadership, and consultant coordination.
  • Experience directing technologists to translate design intent into comprehensive construction documentation while maintaining design integrity.
