Role Overview

As a Senior Interior Designer / Project Lead, you are the "conductor" of the project orchestra. While a Junior focuses on the details of the model, you are responsible for the creative vision, client relationship, and financial health of the project. In this role, your focus shifts from doing the work to directing the work and ensuring the design translates from a concept to a high-end, functional reality.
