Are you a designer who loves the details — but also loves the conversation? Do you love the creative work — the space planning, the 3D walkthroughs, the perfect tile layout — but also want to be in the room when clients say yes? Are you the kind of person who can run a qualification call in the morning, measure an as-built in the afternoon, and present a material palette by end of day?
We're looking for a Design & Project Consultant — a rare hybrid who can own clients from first call through design hand-off. If you're a detail-oriented designer who genuinely enjoys people — we'd love to meet you.

We're a close-knit team of nine that values balance, continuous improvement, and personal responsibility — and we give back through Arm of Care, Save Mount Diablo, and community remodeling seminars.
