Office Interior Designer -

Do you love creating spaces that inspire people?  Do people seek you out to solve their living/working space design issues because you are “so creative”?  Do your fingers itch to move around furniture so it could “flow” better?  By the end of the day, do you feel fulfilled because you know your work matters? Do you have the passion to create interior designs that are better than the “norm”?  At KOF, we are on the lookout for a key role within our Chicago team – our next Office Interior Designer.

• Creativity – This will require you to understand the details of all the resources available to you through our wide array of vendor solutions. It will also require your ability to translate that knowledge and understanding into a solution that meets the customer’s needs for furnishings, space design and architectural elements.

It will also require that you initiate collaboration with the project teams in a thoughtful and timely manner to meet customer deadlines.
