Visionary Interior Designer Full time/Intern/ Part time

Job description
Interior Avenue is growing! Interior Avenue, the Project Roadmap, is a regional manufacturers’ rep group covering Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and El Paso, TX.

We are changing the way commercial offices, hospitals, and schools design and purchase FF&E. With the heart of a teacher, we show companies how to create affordable spaces without giving up quality, design, or flexibility.

We build our clients a roadmap and guide them through the entire process from start to finish. We also help them establish a budget and will recommend attractive and affordable modern office furniture design that will result in a stylish, contemporary look to reflect our client’s company brand and culture. Our clients will be proud and excited to go to their office every day.

This position will help us create that roadmap. Think of yourself as the “Chip and Joanna” of the commercial world. The “Fixer Upper” of the commercial space. We make the process fun for our clients and you will play a major role in that.
