Interior Designer Placement
Hospitality Design Studio
This appointment sat at the intersection of creativity and delivery.
Our client is a well-established, creatively driven hospitality design studio, known for shaping brand-led food and beverage environments that balance concept, narrative and real-world execution. With a growing pipeline of restaurant and hospitality projects, they needed an Interior Designer who could move fluidly between creative ideation and technical resolution.
The brief was clear. This was not a decorative role. They were looking for a designer who understood how hospitality spaces are imagined, developed and delivered, someone comfortable working at pace, collaborating across disciplines and contributing meaningfully to live projects.
The designer we placed brought exactly that balance. Strong conceptual thinking underpinned by solid technical knowledge, with hands-on experience across hospitality and food and beverage environments. Their portfolio demonstrated a confident design process, from early brand interpretation through to detailed drawing packages and on-site coordination.
Throughout the process, the focus was on alignment rather than speed. We spent time understanding the studio’s creative culture, the realities of their project workload and where this hire would sit within the wider team. Equally, we ensured the candidate was moving into an environment that would challenge them creatively while supporting their longer-term progression.
The result was a placement that felt natural on both sides. A designer stepping into a studio where their creativity is trusted and their technical input valued, and a client gaining a considered, dependable addition to their hospitality team.
Another example of how thoughtful recruitment, grounded in sector knowledge and honest conversations, leads to lasting outcomes rather than short-term fixes.
