Designer Blvd. is seeking an EXPERIENCED Lead Interior Designer to join our growing studio. Our Design Team members are self-directed individuals, extremely detail-oriented, with exceptional project management skills, and an innate design eye. The right candidate is passionate about interior design, confident owning projects, enjoys leading both clients and team members, and wants long-term growth within a collaborative, fast-paced design environment.

​​

The ideal candidate brings a positive, glass-half-full attitude, a strong sense of ownership, and a great sense of humor. They are deeply client-driven, consistently putting client needs first while maintaining clarity, confidence, and professionalism.
