Senior interior designer
at LUNO Design Studio
LUNO Design Studio is seeking a senior interior designer with six plus years’ experience to join its team in Los Angeles, USA.
LUNO Design Studio is an architecture and interiors practice specializing in high-end single family residential architecture. At LUNO we bring no prescribed design agenda to each of our projects. Instead, our process driven approach to designing a home starts with unlocking the intrinsic personal aesthetics of the clients: their design DNA. LUNO then interprets this information into an architectural style that fits both the clients’ lifestyle and its context.
LUNO is currently seeking highly motivated senior designers with six plus years’ of relevant experience in high-end single-family residential architecture to join our Interiors Studio. Your portfolio must clearly demonstrate exceptional design talent, experience coordinating detailed projects, and the ability to manage a project from conceptual design through construction administration and procurement.
Our ideal candidate is curious, thoughtful, and designs with enthusiasm. They exhibit effective communication skills, positive professionalism, enjoy working collaboratively with a team, are highly self-motivated, and assume accountability for deadlines and quality of work. Candidates must be organized and comfortable with working on multiple projects at once at varying stages of design. Candidates demonstrate a willingness to provide more than is expected and are driven by team-oriented success. At LUNO, we provide a collaborative design environment. Our Architecture and Interiors Studios work together and partake in whole office design charrettes at various stages of a project regardless of discipline. We give you autonomy to exhibit your independent strengths and design aesthetic, while also providing support for the elements you would like to strengthen as you grow in your career.
