Some firms talk about design culture. This one has built it into the walls — quite literally. Based in one of DC's most creative neighbourhoods, this forward-focused practice is known for workplace interiors that are as technically rigorous as they are beautifully resolved. They're sociable, they're ambitious, and they invest in their people through mentoring programmes, research grants, and an Art Night that's earned a permanent slot in the calendar. They're now looking for a senior interior designer who can own a room — whether that's a client presentation, a construction administration meeting, or a mentoring session with a junior designer finding their feet.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the design vision on workplace interior projects, developing concepts, finish palettes, and refined design aesthetics that make spaces genuinely compelling.
Produce detailed, high-quality construction document sets with rigorous coordination and a high-end design sensibility throughout.
Manage code analysis (ADA, IBC, and beyond) and coordinate across the full consultant team — architectural, MEP, lighting, acoustic, security, and more.
Drive construction administration for interior renovations and new commercial developments from start to finish.
Translate complex briefs into clear presentations and detailed design documentation that bring clients along for the ride.
Mentor and guide junior designers through every phase of the design process — from first concept to final punch list.

8–15 years of experience in interior design or architecture with a strong focus on workplace interiors.
Advanced proficiency in Revit, Enscape, Photoshop, Bluebeam Studio, and InDesign; excellent 3D modelling skills are highly valued.
Familiarity with construction administration platforms such as TonicDM, Newforma, PlanGrid, Procore, Autodesk Build, or Kahua.
In-depth experience in space planning, FF&E specifications, and materials selection for commercial interiors.
Proven leadership and mentorship skills — you bring people up as well as deliver great work.
NCIDQ certification or architectural licensure preferred; LEED and/or WELL accreditation is a bonus.
Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Interior Design or Architecture; valid US work permit required.
