Jarret Yoshida Inc. is a Brooklyn-based interior design firm with clients across NYC, LA, D.C., Hawaii, and beyond. We believe internships should be meaningful—not mindless.

Research & Sourcing: Exploring trends, vendors, materials
Showroom Visits: Sourcing at the D&D Building, NYDC, and other design centers
Styling & Photography Prep: Assisting with staging and shoot preparation
Admin Support: Helping designers with meetings, errands, and project support
What You’ll Gain:
Hands-on experience as an active contributor to projects
Mentorship & constructive feedback to support your development
Exposure to NYC’s design world, with encouragement to visit museums and galleries
Work-life balance, with flexibility around school commitments
Who You Are:
Passionate about interior design, detail-oriented, and eager to grow
Proactive, communicative, and open to feedback
Comfortable with remote collaboration and using tools like Google Drive
Our Culture & Values
We value collaboration, respect, and inclusivity. Interns are considered essential members of the team, and many of our past interns have gone on to pursue graduate studies and full-time positions at leading firms—thanks to the real-world experience they gained here.
