Lexa Glade Design is a boutique interior design studio based in Chicago. While we have built an extensive residential and commercial portfolio, we are still very much in a startup phase of growth. We need a senior team member who can design, lead, and manage projects from start to finish, and help bring in prospective clients in between.

This role could be a great fit for a solopreneur who is looking to supplement their income and would like to work more collaboratively within a small team. This person can still maintain their own book of business while growing alongside and with us. This opportunity might also be a good fit for someone who is looking for something new. This is a space where they will be able to influence the brand, future, and profitability of the business they create, and receive a direct return and reward on that investment.

‍Title: Senior Designer & Project Manager
‍Compensation: $60-$65 /hour + commission
‍Hours: Part-time, approximately 15–25 hours per week depending on active pipeline and project load
‍Location: Hybrid — Remote and On-Site flexibly (Chicagoland)

Lexa Glade Design is an LGBTQ+ majority-operated interior design studio, and that isn't incidental to how we work — it shapes our team culture and how we show up for clients and partners. We're committed to a workplace built on genuine respect and inclusion. You don't need to be LGBTQ+ to work here. You do need to be a genuine ally — someone who can work respectfully and effectively alongside a queer-majority team, represent that commitment to clients and vendors, and hold the same standard of respect for every colleague regardless of who they are.
