Interior Designer

The Role We're looking for a talented, enthusiastic Interior Designer to join our team and work closely with our Lead Designer and Project Director across the full design and production process. This is a hands-on, detail-oriented role that lives at the intersection of creative design and operational execution. If you love the design process AND the satisfaction of seeing it through to a perfectly installed finish — this is your role.

What You'll Do

Design & Selections

• Support the design process from concept through construction — mood boards, material selections, finish schedules, and design intent documentation
• Accompany clients to design showrooms and guide them through selections with confidence and warmth
• Maintain the project Finish Schedule with accurate, current information — tracking every selection from specification through delivery confirmation
• Flag substitutions, lead time issues, or delivery discrepancies immediately so nothing falls through the cracks

Materials & Coordination

• Coordinate material orders, deliveries, and returns across active projects
• Ensure all materials are confirmed, staged, and accounted for before installation begins
• Verify installed selections against specifications at key project milestones
• Work closely with the production team to make sure design intent carries through to execution in the field

Team & Admin

• Contribute to a collaborative team environment where everyone pitches in
• Support general administrative needs as they arise — mailing, errands, office coordination
• Contribute to Synergy's social media presence by sharing in the documentation of our beautiful finished projects

Technology

• Embrace AI tools and technology as part of your daily workflow — we are a tech-forward operation and want someone who is genuinely excited about what these tools make possible
• Proficiency in design software such as Chief Architect, SketchUp, Canva, or similar is a plus

What We're Looking For

• Degree in Interior Design or related field
• 2-5 years of residential interior design experience preferred
• Detail-oriented and highly organized in order to manage multiple projects
• Warm, client-facing personality with genuine design instincts
• Tech-savvy and open to learning new tools — you see technology as an asset not a burden
• Collaborative by nature — you thrive in a team environment and find satisfaction in shared wins
• Ability to handle administrative tasks with a positive attitude — no task is beneath you

What We Offer

• Full-time position with consistent, meaningful work on high-end residential projects
• Competitive hourly compensation — $30-35/hour based on experience
• Health insurance benefits
• A close-knit team where your voice is heard and your work is visible
• Beautiful projects with clients who care deeply about quality and design

To Apply Submit your resume, a portfolio or link to your work, and a brief note about how you approach the design process as part of a team. We look forward to hearing from you.
