- Holistic Design — Integrate interior design, architecture, furniture/styling, lighting, and artwork for cohesive, branded outcomes. We design to workstyle and lifestyle functional brief.
- Coordination & Collaboration — Work directly with clients, consultants, and the internal team, keeping timelines and quality on track.

This is an end-to-end role, not a siloed position, it requires individual to be collaborative & confident communicator.

SOFTWARE & WORKFLOW

Our studio currently uses:

- Revit – primary documentation platform
- Enscape – design communication and reviews (the studio also uses other visualisation tools)

- Industry standard graphic software

You should be comfortable working across multiple tools and adapting as workflows evolve.

Other software experience would be useful Twin Motion, Blender and D5.
