The Senior Interior Designer / Design Director is a full-time, on-site leadership position based in Atlanta. As a key member of our leadership team and the Principal’s second-in-command within the design studio, this individual will lead both our skilled and talented design staff and their own portfolio of projects from concept through final installation.

Responsibilities include establishing the creative direction for luxury residential and boutique hospitality projects; reviewing and redlining construction documents; collaborating with clients, architects, consultants, contractors, artisans, and vendors; managing project schedules and budgets; and ensuring every project reflects Habachy Designs’ uncompromising standards of service, craftsmanship, and design excellence.
The ideal candidate is an accomplished designer, confident decision-maker, and inspiring leader with the ability to seamlessly transition between hands-on project execution and studio leadership. They are passionate about mentoring others, fostering collaboration, and elevating both the quality of the work and the growth of the team.
Strong Interior Design and Space Planning skills, with the ability to develop functional and compelling layouts for diverse project types.
High level and knowledge involving Interior Construction Drawings including experience producing detailed plans, elevations, and specifications for implementation for high-end projects.
FF&E skills including sourcing, specifying, and coordinating furniture, fixtures, and equipment aligned with project concepts and budgets.
Proficiency in industry-standard design and drafting software (e.g., Studio Designer, AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, Adobe Creative Suite, etc.) and strong visual presentation skills.
Demonstrated experience leading interior design projects, managing client relationships, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams.
Strong organizational, time-management, and communication skills, with the ability to handle multiple projects and deadlines.
Bachelor’s degree or Masters Degree in Interior Design; professional licensure or certification (NCIDQ) is preferred.
Experience in high-end residential design is critical.
