Job Description

Gallery KBNY is seeking a talented Interior Designer with a strong architectural design mindset to join our team. This role is not limited to finishes and aesthetics; we are looking for someone who understands how spaces are built, how kitchens and bathrooms function, and how design decisions impact real construction conditions.

The ideal candidate has a strong eye for design, but also understands mechanics, flow, clearances, plumbing, electrical coordination, cabinetry planning, appliance integration, and the practical needs of day-to-day living. We are looking for a designer who can balance beauty, function, feasibility, and client expectations.

Candidate Requirements

• Minimum of 7 years of professional interior design experience, with a strong focus on architectural interiors, kitchen and bathroom planning, construction documentation, and real-world project execution.
• Strong experience in interior architectural design, especially kitchens, bathrooms, millwork, and apartment renovations.
• Ability to understand and plan functional layouts based on real-life use, flow, operation, and client needs.
• Knowledge of kitchen and bathroom mechanics, including plumbing locations, appliance requirements, fixture clearances, ventilation, electrical planning, and storage needs.
• Ability to produce and review detailed plans, elevations, renderings, finish schedules, and design documentation.
• Strong understanding of cabinetry, millwork, tile layouts, stone, lighting, fixtures, hardware, and finish selections.
• Ability to coordinate design intent with construction feasibility and jobsite conditions.
• Comfortable working with contractors, project managers, vendors, architects, and clients.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to catch conflicts before they become field issues.
• Ability to communicate design decisions clearly and professionally.
• Experience with NYC apartments, co-ops, condos, or pre-war renovations is a strong plus.
• Proficiency in design software such as AutoCAD, SketchUp, Revit, Chief Architect, 2020 Design, or similar programs.
• Organized, proactive, and able to manage multiple projects and deadlines at once.
• Must be willing to follow company procedures, documentation standards, and design protocols.
