Interior Designer I
Clic is looking for an Interior Designer with 2–4 years of professional experience who is ready to expand their skills, take on greater responsibility, and contribute meaningfully throughout the design and delivery process.
This position offers hands-on involvement in a variety of commercial interior projects, including workplace, corporate, legal, nonprofit, community, and other project types. You will work directly with Clic’s founders and experienced designers, gaining exposure to programming, space planning, concept development, finish and furniture selection, client presentations, construction documentation, and construction administration.
The Interior Designer will contribute to the development and execution of design solutions while building a stronger understanding of how projects move from initial concept through construction. This person should be comfortable working within established project direction, taking ownership of assigned responsibilities, communicating questions or concerns early, and following their work through completion.
No two days at Clic are exactly the same. The ideal candidate enjoys variety, adapts quickly, takes initiative, and approaches their work with curiosity and grit. This person communicates openly, welcomes direct feedback, raises potential challenges before they become problems, and can be trusted to follow through on commitments. They are collaborative, organized, dependable, and willing to step in where needed—someone who cares about the collective success of the project, the team, and the studio.
This is an opportunity for a developing designer to strengthen their creative and technical abilities, gain meaningful project experience, and grow alongside an entrepreneurial design studio.
