DESIGN ASSISTANT
Sonoma County, CA | Part-Time
ABOUT US
We are a high-end residential interior design studio based in Sonoma County, CA, specializing in large-scale renovations, new builds, and full-home furnishings. Our work emphasizes thoughtful architectural integration, refined materials, and livable luxury. We are a tight-knit team of four managing 15–20 active projects at any given time — and we’re looking for a fifth person who can keep up.
POSITION OVERVIEW The Design Assistant plays a critical support role in the execution of residential design projects across all phases — from concept through installation. This is a support-heavy role focused on organization, preparation, documentation, and follow-through.

We need someone who is self-motivated and resourceful, can manage multiple priorities at once, and doesn’t need to be hand-held between tasks. If you thrive in a busy, collaborative environment and take pride in keeping things running smoothly, this role is for you.

This position is part time with potential for full time in the future.
