Role Overview You will lead multiple luxury residential projects end to end—owning the creative vision, guiding clients with clarity and confidence, and translating our signature look into site-ready documentation and flawless installations. You’ll mentor designers, collaborate with architects and trades, and uphold the studio’s standard of refined, quietly bold design. Key Responsibilities Lead full-scope residential projects from discovery, concept, and design development through construction administration and white-glove install. Create concept narratives and mood boards aligned with our aesthetic: layered neutrals, nuanced textures, clean architectural lines, bespoke millwork, and sculptural, well-edited moments. Produce and review drawings: floor plans, RCPs, elevations, millwork/shop drawings, custom furniture details, tile/stone layouts, and interior specs to luxury standards. Specify FF&E, finishes, fixtures, lighting, and window treatments; assemble spec books, schedules, cut sheets, pricing, and alternates consistent with budget and lead times. Present to clients with polish; translate feedback into actionable revisions while protecting design intent and our brand point of view. Partner with GCs, fabricators, and trades; conduct site walks; resolve field conditions while maintaining the AHD standard. Build and manage project budgets and schedules; value-engineer without compromising the look and feel. Mentor junior and intermediate designers; enforce deliverable quality, drawing standards, and presentation excellence. Curate and evolve the library and vendor relationships; scout materials and artisans that reflect our refined, livable luxury. Represent AHD at showrooms and industry events; embody our client-service ethos.
