Job DescriptionJob Title: Interior Design Assistant / Junior Designer

Position Overview

A high-end interior design firm in Marin County is seeking a talented Interior Design Assistant to join our team. We’re looking for someone who brings the perfect blend of creative vision and operational excellence—someone who can move seamlessly between design development, technical execution, and project support.

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, organized, and proactive, with a polished communication style and a warm, service-driven approach. You should feel equally confident producing elevated design deliverables as you do rolling up your sleeves to support hands-on tasks throughout all phases of a project.

If you thrive in a fast-paced, boutique design environment and love contributing to beautifully executed spaces, we’d love to meet you.

Responsibilities

• Produce and edit drawings, renderings, and presentations using Photoshop, SketchUp, AutoCAD, InDesign, and Excel.
  

• Assist with space planning and work with complex architectural drawings.
  

• Source products, materials, and finishes; prepare and process purchase orders; place and track orders; coordinate with vendors; and handle returns of samples or materials as needed.
  

• Support project installations, including handling on-site tasks that may range from styling and bed-making to light cleaning, to ensure a polished final presentation.
  

• Maintain strong communication and professionalism when interacting with clients, vendors, and contractors, particularly in high-end settings.
  

• Balance multiple priorities while maintaining strong attention to detail and organizational accuracy.
  

• Proactively stay busy by identifying new tasks or requesting additional assignments when workload is light.
  

• Support the design team in administrative duties as needed.
  

• Contribute positively to a collaborative design aesthetic while remaining calm and solution-oriented under pressure.
  

Qualifications

• Degree in Interior Design or related field.
  

• Advanced proficiency in Photoshop, SketchUp, AutoCAD, InDesign, and Excel.
  

• Strong space planning and technical drawing skills.
  

• Excellent organizational, multitasking, and time management abilities.
  

• Strong written and verbal communication skills with professional client-facing demeanor.
  

• Valid driver’s license and access to a reliable vehicle.
  

• Honest, trustworthy, emotionally stable, and a self-starter who thrives in both independent and collaborative work.
  

• Willingness to perform a wide variety of tasks, from high-level design work to hands-on support during project installs.
  

• Positive attitude, discretion, and professionalism—able to focus on work without excessive personal distractions.
  

Compensation

• Hourly rate: $26–$30 per hour, commensurate with experience.
