Remote Sustainable Interior Designer

Description

See Your Work Change Lives: Sustainable Interior Design, Remotely

This isn’t your average design job. Here, you’re rolling up your sleeves and making a difference, all from your favorite corner of the world. Every space you shape means something—because you care about comfort and the planet. Think you’re up for it? Good. Let’s get into the real story.

What Makes This Job Feel Real

Remote doesn’t mean disconnected. In fact, our team jokes that we talk more now than we ever did in an office. You’ll see familiar faces on video calls—sometimes with messy hair, sometimes with pets popping up on screen, always with real stories to share. If you ever wonder, “Does anyone actually notice my work?”—oh, trust me, we do. When Leah transformed leftover pallets into wall shelves, she was the talk of the week.

You’ll work in your own space, but you’ll feel part of a team that celebrates the little things—a clever storage hack, a perfectly lit reading nook, or just making someone’s day easier. That’s how we do things here.

Your Day Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All

Some mornings, you’ll be deep in sketching a kid’s playroom that has to be bright, safe, and green. Other days, you’re on a video call with a business owner who wants their office to feel inviting and eco-friendly, but has no idea where to start. One afternoon might be all about comparing two types of reclaimed wood. Another, you’re troubleshooting why the video call is choppy (again). We’ve all been there.

We keep things honest and human—if you’re stuck, someone’s a DM away. If your cat blocks your camera, we’ll laugh right along with you. Our weekly check-ins aren’t just for updates; they’re for venting, sharing quick wins, and finding out who finally tried that new bamboo wallpaper.

Why What You Do Matters

This isn’t just about trends—it’s about making homes healthier and businesses more responsible. Ever seen a client’s face when they realize their new sofa was built locally, using fabrics that are good for their kids and the air they breathe? That’s the stuff that sticks with you.

Recently, we pulled off a small miracle—a family wanted everything sourced from within a hundred miles. It took phone calls, a few wild goose chases, and lots of creativity, but seeing them relax in a space they knew was good for their kids (and the planet) felt like a win for everyone.

What You Know—and What You’ll Learn

It’s not about having every answer. If you know your way around green design, that helps. Maybe you’ve picked reclaimed tile for a kitchen, or you have a knack for turning old dressers into something totally new. But what really matters is your curiosity and your willingness to say, “Let’s try it and see what happens.”

You’ll never get left in the dark. Someone’s always ready to share a trick, swap stories about design fails (we’ve had a few), or help you puzzle through a material choice. No know-it-alls, no egos—just a crew who wants to see what you come up with.

Working With Folks, Not Just Files

We’re scattered across cities and time zones, but you’ll feel the vibe. We swap memes, trade tips, and jump in to help with brainstorms. Even if you’re new, you won’t get lost—one of us is always quick to drop a voice note or check in when you’re quiet.

Client calls? They’re real conversations. You might help someone see how an upcycled desk could transform their space or ease a skeptic into trying cork flooring. It’s not about forcing a vision—it’s about helping people see what’s possible, together.

Real-World Challenges, Everyday Wins

Sustainable design means sometimes your ideas take a little longer to pull off, or you have to explain why the “cheap and easy” way isn’t the right way. If you know your way around SketchUp or AutoCAD, cool—but if not, you’ll pick it up fast here. There’s space to ask, learn, and grow.

Sometimes you’ll share the story behind a rescued barn door, or explain how a piece of vintage lighting found new life. Those stories matter to clients—and to us.

How We Make Sustainability Work

  • We always look local first. If it’s made nearby, it’s in the running.
  • Got leftovers? Let’s turn them into something useful—storage bins, art, whatever comes to mind.
  • We lean into natural light and smart layouts, so spaces feel good and waste less energy.
  • Certifications matter, too. If it’s FSC or Greenguard, even better.
  • We talk to clients, answer questions, and make sure they feel good about their choices—for today, and for years down the line.

Some days are a little tougher. But every time a client calls back with a “thank you,” you remember why you stuck with it.

A Day That Feels Like Yours

Start: You roll out of bed, grab your coffee, check your messages. Maybe there’s a team selfie from someone’s hike, or a heads-up about a new eco-fabric to check out.

Mid-morning: Quick team video catch-up. Last week, Dev shared how she turned old gym floors into coffee tables. Cue the applause and some friendly teasing.

Later: You’re sketching, mood-boarding, and swapping ideas with a teammate. Got a question? You ping the group chat. Nobody leaves you hanging.

Lunch: Home-cooked, or whatever’s fast. No judgment.

Afternoon: Client call. You break down options, show off samples, and help them see how a greener space can look sharp, not stuffy.

Wrap: You check in with a teammate, maybe swap weekend plans. You shut the laptop feeling proud, not burned out.

Here’s What You Get

  • $82,000 a year—no weird catches or hidden details.
  • Work from anywhere that feels like home.
  • Time off, because rest matters.
  • Learning and conference budgets if you want to keep your skills sharp.
  • Online parties and check-ins (sometimes silly, always supportive).
  • Real respect—your ideas matter, always.

What Matters Most to Us

Bring your heart. Bring your ideas. Bring your weird, wild solutions. Here, we look out for each other, jump in to help, and celebrate even small wins. If you’ve got a puzzle-solving brain and you care about people and the planet, you’ll fit right in.
