Our client, a successful boutique firm based in Seattle, is looking to hire a Senior Interior Designer to join their team. This forward thinking design firm specializes in high-end corporate, residential, retail and hospitality clientele that have come to expect the kind of innovative, strategic thinking that results in an enhanced human experience that allows them to be taken to places beyond just the norm.
Rather than be defined by separate roles in architecture and interior design studios, their designers utilize both skill sets for a 3-dimensional approach to projects within an active, vibrant and collaborative culture that is truly integrated. Their true need is for a talented, experienced professional that is both an Architect and Interior Designer at heart.
Demonstrated qualities:

- Contribute reasonable "sacrifice" (in the service of responsibility, accountability, and empathy to clients, projects, and teammates).
- Employ "rapid‐prototyping" practices (producing multiple options, quickly to facilitate problem solving).
- Create client‐oriented presentations so they "get it" and "want it".
- Convey firm "advocacy" both inside and outside the studio.
- Work as an extension of the principals’ hands and creativity.
- Work within a vibrant, high‐energy environment and be adaptable to change on a regular basis.
Ideal candidate skillset / knowledge base:
- Design – ability to design interiors that are spatially oriented and humanistically driven. Holistic approach that considers material, color, texture, lighting, and furniture.
- Programming – strong knowledge of programming techniques and ability to implement them with client and end‐user groups.
- Documentation – strong knowledge of construction document production, consultant coordination, and detailing. Ability to both generate and direct production activities.
- Construction – knowledge of the construction process and ability to independently participate in the CA phase.
- Finishes – strong knowledge of the latest available materials and their appropriate applications, availability, and cost. Ability to independently generate and develop palettes.
- Furniture – strong knowledge of key commercial and residential furniture manufacturers’ product lines for use in firm projects. Ability to make selections and develop furniture specifications and budgets.
- Communication – strong graphic, written, and verbal communication skills. Ability to present ideas and strategies quickly, thoughtfully, and concisely. Hand sketching abilities are critical.
- Management – ability to be sensitive to project fees, budgets, schedules. Ability to manage design process and supervise workflow of design and production support staff.
Qualification requirements:
- Minimum B.S. or B.A. in Interior Design or Interior.
- Architecture and 12+ years related professional experience.
- Proven design experience in similar project types and sizes and team structures.
- Experience with and ability to use Revit, AutoCad, In‐Design, Photoshop, and Microsoft Word and Excel.
