Interior Designer
We are seeking students who want to become designers, not decorators. That distinction means that we look at a project in the context of the entire space, or the whole, rather than as parts or components. Our designers understand the art and science of lifestyle, environment and taste to create a functional, beautiful and personal space. We provide luxury design services for the reimagining of one room or an entire home, anywhere in Hawaii. Our designers embody the Island lifestyle and a sense of personal style, polished appearance, refined taste and a discerning eye for luxury.
