Design With Us

Remote, project-based, on your schedule — with the pay published, because you shouldn't have to ask.

The application

One case study, no style quiz: design three rooms for three different lives. Each with a rendering or board, a 150-word rationale, and a shopping list from online vendors only — linked, in stock, inside budget. AI welcome; we're hiring your eye, not your pencil. The work stays yours.

Room one

The Rental

Brooklyn 1BR · $6,000

Tenant-occupied. Nothing that can't be undone — reversibility is our core discipline.

Room two

The Statement

Dining room · $25,000

Owners who entertain. Bold and livable — range under a bigger number.

Room three

The Feeling

Bedroom · $10,000

The brief is three words: warm, collected, quiet. Real clients give you feelings.

The process
01

Apply

Portfolio link and one question: a room you designed around a constraint.

02

Case study

The three rooms, one week, your schedule. Yours to keep and publish regardless.

03

Review

Shopping lists audited first — every link, every total — then the design, then thirty minutes on video.

04

Paid trial

One real engagement at published rates. We never ask designers to work free.

05

Onboard

Contract, the brand system, the sourcing rules — and your first brief.

How we work

Complete briefs before you start. Bounded revisions, agreed up front. Pay on delivery. Your name on your work. In return: the reversibility discipline on rentals, shopping lists that are true, the studio voice in client-facing writing, and deadlines honoured or renegotiated early — never silently missed.
