Interior Designer 2020 Design Software

Senior Interior Designer and 3D Visualization Specialist

Primary Focus: Commercial interiors and residential fit-outs

Required Software: 2020 Design and AutoCAD

Preferred background

Experience with a design-build general contractor, architecture practice or interior design studio; adaptive reuse; custom millwork; and advanced walkthrough production. A relevant design or architecture degree, NCIDQ certification or comparable credential is valued alongside demonstrated work.

Space planning and concept development

• Develop test fits, adjacency studies and dimensioned layouts for commercial tenant improvements and residential interiors. Resolve circulation, furniture placement, storage, workflow and the experience of moving through the space.
• Assess existing-condition drawings, photos and measurements with the project team. Identify constraints, verify critical dimensions and distinguish confirmed conditions from assumptions before detailed design.
• Create concept boards, finish palettes and coordinated interior schemes, including cabinetry, custom millwork, feature walls, ceilings, furnishings and lighting intent. Incorporate accessibility and building-system requirements with the responsible professionals.

3D visualization and CAD documentation

• Produce accurate 3D room models and polished, photorealistic renderings that communicate spatial proportions, materials, texture, lighting and the intended atmosphere from multiple useful viewpoints.
• Use 2020 Design for detailed layouts, cabinetry, manufacturer catalog selections, materials and presentation views. Use AutoCAD for precise plans, elevations, sections, schedules and interior details.
• Create client-facing 360-degree panoramas and immersive presentations where appropriate. Experience producing animated or interactive 3D walkthroughs through a demonstrated, compatible workflow is strongly preferred.
• Maintain consistent dimensions, selections and revisions across models, renderings and drawings. Deliver organized editable files, accurate references, clearly labeled issue sets and presentation-ready exports.
  

Material sourcing and procurement support

• Source finishes, fixtures, furnishings and custom millwork suited to the design, budget and use. Evaluate commercial durability, maintenance, availability, samples and installation requirements.
• Prepare selection schedules identifying manufacturer, product, finish, dimensions, quantities, supplier, price basis and lead time. Obtain comparable quotes and propose alternatives that preserve design quality.
• Coordinate approvals and purchase-by dates with Procurement and Project Management. Flag long-lead items, discontinued products and substitutions early; review samples and submittals against the approved design.
  

Light estimating and value engineering

• Prepare preliminary quantities and allowances for interior finishes, cabinetry, fixtures and furnishings. Support conceptual budgets with supplier pricing and documented assumptions for labor, freight, tax and installation.
• Compare design alternatives by appearance, function, installed cost and schedule. Explain the effect of each option and help clients prioritize where their investment has the greatest visible and practical impact.
• Provide clear takeoffs, specifications and scope notes to Estimating. Reconcile selections with approved allowances and identify cost changes before presenting them as committed scope.
  

Construction coordination and completion

• Collaborate with architects, engineers, estimators, project managers and field teams to resolve constructibility questions and protect the design intent from early planning through final installation.
• Support site verification, consultant coordination, permit documentation and responses to field questions within assigned scope. Review shop drawings, finish transitions and installation details with the responsible team.
• Track revisions and client approvals, communicate changes to affected parties, and support finish inspections,
  punch-list resolution and final styling appropriate to the project scope.
  

Required qualifications

• 15+ years of progressive interior design experience, with substantial completed commercial interiors and residential renovation or fit-out work.
• Expert, hands-on proficiency in 2020 Design, including the Design Live / Design Flex product family, and AutoCAD. Demonstrated ability to create and revise native project files independently.
• An exceptional portfolio showing original design concepts, full-space commercial planning, detailed renderingsand completed transformations, with the candidate's personal contribution clearly identified.
• Strong command of proportion, scale, circulation, color, texture, lighting and material composition, supportedby practical knowledge of custom millwork and interior construction.
• Proven material sourcing, specification and vendor coordination skills, with the ability to explain design choiceand budget tradeoffs to discerning clients.
