Junior Kitchen Designer

You are detail-obsessed and team-oriented. You find real satisfaction in making sure every measurement is precise, every order is accurate, and every drawing is exactly right. You love collaborating, solving problems together, and making the people around you better. You thrive in a studio environment where craft matters, and creative thinking is part of every day.

We are Ateliers Jacob DC, a millwork design studio and showroom in Georgetown. Ateliers Jacob is known for delivering meticulously crafted custom cabinetry, and inspiring design. We create sacred spaces in partnership with invested clients.

About the Role

This is a studio-based role where the work happens behind the drawings, the orders, and the details that make every project possible. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with our senior Kitchen Designers, supporting them at every stage — from early concept through to final execution. Over time, you’ll be exposed to the full arc of how exceptional kitchen and millwork design comes to life, in a studio environment defined by craft, collaboration, and continuous learning. This is an ideal opportunity for a recent Interior Design graduate or someone with 1–2 years of experience who is ready to grow fast in a full-time, in-studio role.

• Assist Kitchen Designers with the preparation of CAD drawings, elevations, and shop drawings.
• Coordinate and process product orders, ensuring accuracy and timely follow-through.
• Support the preparation of detailed technical plans and client presentation materials.
• Maintain organized project documentation and drawing files.
• Participate in studio meetings and project discussions, building your design knowledge with every interaction.
• Collaborate with internal teams to track project timelines and keep deliverables on track.

What You Bring

• Diploma or degree in Interior Design, Architecture, Industrial Design, or a related field, or 1–2 years of relevant experience.
• Proficiency in CAD software such as Vectorworks, Chief Architect, SketchUp, or similar programs.
• Exceptional attention to detail — you notice what others miss and take pride in getting it right.
• A collaborative spirit and the ability to work closely with a tight-knit creative team.
• Creative problem-solving instincts — you look for better ways to do things and aren’t afraid to suggest them.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to juggle multiple tasks without dropping the ball.
• Genuine enthusiasm for kitchen design, cabinetry, and the built environment.

What We Offer

• A competitive salaried compensation package.
• A full-time, in-studio role at our Georgetown showroom — a beautiful place to spend your days.
• A front-row seat to high-end kitchen and interior design — you will grow here.
• A tight-knit, collaborative studio culture that values curiosity, precision, and creative thinking.
• Mentorship from experienced Interior Designers who are the best at what they do.
