Interior Design Procurement Intern (Part-Time)

At Hartman Design Group, design is personal. Buildings do far more than provide shelter – they provide context for living and touch lives. From our hearts to yours, we invite you to walk in and experience the spaces we create. We’re committed to offering everyone opportunities to learn, experiment, and grow. If you are motivated by challenge, passion, and meaning, then you’ll love working here.
