Ready to shape spaces people actually live in...not just render them?

Windle Design & Construction is looking for a talented Interior Designer with sharp design instincts, solid technical chops, and the drive to take real ownership of residential projects from first sketch to final walkthrough.

• Collaborate cross-departmentally with construction, project management, and other teams to keep designs on track and on brand

• Juggle multiple projects at once, bringing organization and design integrity to every one

What makes you a fit:

• A few years of residential design experience under your belt, with a portfolio that shows range and craft

• Comfortable managing client relationships and multiple moving pieces at once

• Strong technical fluency (space planning, materials, documentation) paired with genuine design taste

• A collaborative mindset, you know, great projects are built by great teams

If you're looking for a role where you'll have real creative ownership and room to grow into bigger leadership, this is it!
