Interior Designer - Contract

Rate: Hourly, commensurate with experience

Type: Contract

Location: Denver, CO (Hybrid — mostly remote with some on-site needs)

About the job

We're looking for a Denver-based interior designer on a contract, hourly basis, with a focus on FFE selection, sourcing, and installation. One day you might be deep-diving for a custom upholstery spec; the next, hunting for a vintage mantlepiece at a salvage shop.

This role is a good match for someone who wants hands-on experience across all phases of a project; someone who thrives on variety in their work week; someone who is collaborative and open to learning. We’re a small studio working on big projects, so accountability, attention to detail, and a certain level of oh-god-i’m-not-sure-how-to-do-this-but-i-better-figure-it-out are essential to getting quality work done on time. Of course, we’re also a design studio, so your creativity, curiosity, and unique point of view helps us make the most meaningful work for our clients. 

This position starts as contract and hourly, with hours that flex based on the project load. Some weeks will be light, others will be busy. As the business continues to scale, we hope to transition this role into a full-time position with consistent hours and a real seat at the table.

What you'll do

• Source furniture, fixtures, and equipment across all phases of a project — researching vendors, building relationships with reps, tracking down that one perfect piece, and supporting through procurement and install

• Assist in preparing FFE selections and presentation materials for client meetings, including mood boards, spec sheets, and sample pulls

• Join site visits to keep tabs on project progress, verify conditions on the ground, and make sure the build is tracking with the design

• Support installation and styling at project completion, making sure every detail lands the way it was designed

• Assist with space planning, furniture layouts, and design development as needed

• Help with drawings and documentation, like floor plans or finish schedules, on an occasional basis

• Keep project files, documentation, and the studio's materials library organized and up to date

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Interior Design, Interior Architecture, or related field from an accredited program or 3+ years of experience at a design firm

• Hands-on experience with FFE sourcing, selection, and pulling together compelling client presentation packages. Vintage sourcing is a plus!

• A sharp eye for furniture, materials, and finishes and the ability to articulate why something works (or doesn't)

• Clear communicator, written and verbal, with clients and collaborators alike

• Highly organized and self-directed with strong follow-through on orders, timelines, and communications

• Proficiency in SketchUp and/or Revit is a plus, but not required

What we offer

• Flexible hours 

• Exposure to real client projects and job sites

• Experience with product sourcing, procurement, and installations

• Opportunity to build portfolio-worthy work

• Mentorship and insight into running a small design studio

• A collaborative, low-ego environment where your ideas and growth matter
