About the Role
Wendi Gee Interiors is a boutique residential design firm serving Austin and the surrounding Texas Hill Country. We specialize in high-end custom home builds, extensive remodels, and full-service furnishings. We are fortunate to work with wonderful clients who value thoughtful design, clear communication, and the level of detail required to create a truly exceptional home.
We are looking for an experienced Senior Interior Designer who can independently lead and execute high-end residential projects from concept through completion, with Principal Designer oversight and review at key milestones. The right person can take ownership of a project - developing the design, sourcing and specifying, preparing client presentations and proposals, coordinating the details, and carrying the design through execution.
What You'll Do
Lead high-end residential projects from concept through execution, including design development, sourcing, specifications, client presentations, proposals, and installation.
Develop cohesive design concepts and source FF&E appropriate to the project, client, budget, and overall design direction.
Prepare polished, client-ready presentations and accurate proposals, including pricing, vendor quotes, and lead times.
Create and maintain project specifications, schedules, and design documentation.
Participate in client and builder meetings, coordinate with vendors and trades, conduct site checks, and make informed design decisions in the field.
Delegate appropriate work to junior design staff and review work for accuracy and completeness.
Coordinate closely with the Principal Designer at key project milestones while confidently managing the day-to-day design work and follow-through.
What We're Looking For
5+ years of professional residential interior design experience, including significant experience with high-end custom home builds and full-service furnishings.
Experience working on custom homes from architectural plans and design development through construction and furnishings installation.
Strong high-end furnishings experience, with knowledge of trade-only and premium vendors and experience sourcing custom upholstery, case goods, lighting, rugs, art, accessories, and other FF&E.
Must be able to produce interior elevation drawings and dimensioned floor plans for high-end residential projects.
Strong working knowledge of professional drafting software.
Ability to independently lead and execute multiple residential projects while maintaining organized, accurate documentation and communicating issues early and clearly.
How We Work
We place a high value on respectful, collaborative relationships with our clients, vendors, builders, and trades. We approach projects as a team and expect our designers to treat the people we work with as partners. A positive outlook and a sense of humor are a very welcome part of our team culture.
Schedule, Location and Flexibility
This is a fixed-term position of 5 months, 30-40 hours per week, with one work-from-home day per week. The role has the potential to become permanent based on business needs, performance, and mutual fit.
Reliable transportation is required. This role includes regular travel to project sites, vendor showrooms, and meetings in Austin and the surrounding Hill Country, such as Driftwood, Lakeway, and Horseshoe Bay. Project locations will vary.
Compensation: $85,000-$100,000 annual salary equivalent based on a 40-hour workweek, with compensation prorated as appropriate if a 30-hour week is preferred.
Junior Interior Designer
30–40 Hours/Week | Austin, TX
$48,000–$60,000 annually, based on experience
About the Role
Wendi Gee Interiors is seeking a talented, highly organized Interior Designer to join our boutique residential design firm in Austin.
We're looking for someone with a strong design eye, solid technical skills, exceptional attention to detail, and a proactive, get-it-done attitude. Ideally, you have 1–4 years of experience with a residential interior design firm, but we're also open to an exceptional recent Interior Design graduate with strong technical and design skills.
You'll work directly with our Principal Designer and be involved in all phases of our residential projects—from sourcing furniture and materials to creating drawings and specifications, coordinating project details, and helping bring the final design to life.
This is a hands-on role in a small firm, so we're looking for someone who enjoys both the creative and execution sides of design.
What You'll Do
Source furniture, lighting, plumbing, tile, stone, hardware, fabrics, accessories, and other materials
Research and narrow selections based on the overall design vision
Create interior elevations, floor plans, and furniture layouts
Assist with space planning and client presentations
Create and maintain accurate product and material specifications
Enter specifications, pricing, dimensions, finishes, and product information into Studio Designer and our design specification software
Request vendor quotes and research pricing, availability, and lead times
Collect, organize, pick up, and return samples
Communicate with clients, vendors, builders, and trades
Help manage project priorities, outstanding decisions, and deadlines
Assist with job-site visits, installations, and final styling
Anticipate next steps and help keep projects moving forward
What We're Looking For
Bachelor's degree in Interior Design or a related field and/or relevant professional interior design experience
Ideally 1–4 years of residential interior design experience
A strong design eye and excellent aesthetic judgment
Ability to create accurate interior elevations
Solid understanding of residential construction, space planning, furniture layouts, scale, dimensions, and clearances
Ability to read and interpret architectural drawings
Exceptional organization and attention to detail
Ability to work efficiently, prioritize, and make decisions without constant direction
Professional communication skills
Comfortable working in Excel and/or Google Sheets
Comfortable learning and using new software and technology
Reliable, resourceful, proactive, and strong on follow-through
Experience with AutoCAD, Chief Architect, SketchUp, Revit, Studio Designer, or similar design software.
We're especially interested in someone who enjoys improving processes and is curious about how technology and AI can make our work better and more efficient.
How We Work
We're a small firm, and everyone wears multiple hats. Some days involve sourcing beautiful materials, client meetings, and styling installations. Others involve specifications, spreadsheets, pricing, vendor follow-up, and sample pickups.
We value collaboration, but we also value focused, independent work. We're looking for someone who can take ownership, solve problems, and keep things moving without constant direction.
Great design matters to us. So does exceptional execution.
Schedule, Location & Flexibility
Our office is located in Austin, TX, and this position will be primarily office-based while you're learning our projects, clients, systems, and way of working.
Once established in the role, there may be an opportunity to work remotely 1–2 days per week, depending on your schedule, responsibilities, performance, and the needs of the firm. The amount of remote flexibility may vary based on whether you're working a 30-hour or 40-hour schedule.
Because interior design can't always happen behind a computer, you'll also need to be available for client meetings, job-site visits, showroom appointments, sample pickups, and installations as needed.
Reliable personal transportation and comfort traveling throughout Greater Austin and the surrounding Hill Country are required.
We're looking for approximately 30–40 hours per week and are open to both a traditional full-time schedule and the right candidate seeking a consistent 30–35 hour work week.
Compensation: $48,000–$60,000 annually for a 40-hour schedule, depending on experience and qualifications. Compensation will be adjusted proportionally for a reduced-hour schedule.
If you're a talented designer with a great eye who also loves organization, details, and making things happen, we'd love to hear from you.
Candidates advancing in the hiring process may be invited to complete a brief hands-on exercise reflecting the types of tasks involved in the role.
