Interior Designer

At COCOON, we believe every home has the potential to be reimagined. As an Interior Designer, you’ll guide our customers through Stage 2 of the COCOON process—the moment when ideas become tangible. You’ll help customers feel confident and excited as they make design decisions, selecting the finishes and details that transform their space into something beautiful, functional, and unmistakably theirs.

It’s about creating a simple, stress-free experience for our customers while ensuring every design is fresh, accurate, and aligned with COCOON’s vision. You’ll collaborate closely with Sales, Architecture, Estimating, and Production to bring each project to life with clarity and care.

This position reports directly to the Design Manager.
