  • Lead client presentations and meetings, ensuring designs meet their needs.

4. Team Leadership & Mentoring

  • Supervise and mentor junior and mid-weight designers on the team when necessary.
  • Inspire creativity within the studio, promoting new suppliers, materials, and design ideas.
  • Maintain the FF&E studio library and support team development.

5. On-site & Installation Oversight

  • Oversee snagging and quality control to ensure all bespoke pieces meet design briefs and client satisfaction.
