Junior Interior Designer

Junior Designer (Part-Time, In-Person)

Burnham Design | Los Angeles

Burnham Design is a boutique, full-service residential interior design studio. We’re looking for a part-time Junior Designer—but more specifically, we’re looking for a certain kind of person: someone who is as comfortable organizing a complex project as they are pulling together a beautiful room. Someone who notices everything. Someone who moves quickly, follows through, and cares about doing things well , not just getting them done.

This is a 3 day/week, in-person role.

What you’ll actually be doing:

• Working closely with the Principal on design concepts and project execution
• Creating presentations, mood boards, and client materials
• Supporting AutoCAD drawings (2D plans and elevations)
• Tracking details, documenting site meetings, and keeping projects on course
• Communicating with clients, vendors, and subcontractors
• Managing samples, materials, and the day-to-day flow of the studio
• Participating in installations and photoshoots

This role is a fit if you:

• Are early in your career (1–2 years in residential design) and want real experience
• Are extremely organized and naturally detail-oriented
• Have a strong work ethic and don’t need to be micromanaged
• Can toggle between creative thinking and logistics without dropping either
• Stay calm under pressure and figure things out
• Have taste—and are actively developing it
• Like being part of a small, high-functioning, no-drama team

Requirements:

• Los Angeles-based with reliable transportation
• AutoCAD proficiency
• Familiarity with local vendors and resources
• Adobe Creative Suite experience a plus (Photoshop, Illustrator), along with Pages/FileMaker

A sense of style and a sense of humor matter.

This is not a passive role. You’ll be expected to contribute, stay organized, and take ownership over time. In return, you’ll get a close-up view of how a design studio really runs—and a chance to grow quickly if you’re up for it.

To apply: send your resume, a short note, and something that shows your eye (portfolio, mood boards, Instagram, etc.).
