Interior Designer - Part Time

+Both portfolio and resume must be sent in to be considered+

About P&O and Our Culture
At Pepper and Olive Interiors, we believe in thoughtful detail, effortless beauty, and a whole lot of hospitality.

We’re not your typical design studio. Specializing in both Residential and Commercial Design, we’re rooted in refined processes, open communication, and a belief that a welcoming space can make everything better. Our work is collaborative, intentional, and built on a foundation of trust—with our clients and with each other.

We’re a small but mighty team of creatives who take pride in our independence, ownership, and curiosity. We stay agile, adapt quickly, and are always looking for ways to grow—both personally and professionally.

The right addition to our team is someone who blends a passion for timeless design with a get-it-done attitude. Someone who embraces the unexpected, pays close attention to the little things, and leads with a client-centered mindset.

As a Designer, you’ll work under the direction of our Principal Designer, but you’ll take the reins when it comes to independently managing client projects from concept to completion. You’ll have the opportunity to shape beautiful spaces—and the experience behind creating them.
