Remote Renovation Designer

Remote Renovation Designer – Shape Spaces from Anywhere

Ready to turn your eye for design into dream spaces without leaving your house? This role lets you do exactly that. As a Remote Renovation Designer, you’ll bring creative ideas to life, guide homeowners through significant changes, and help them fall in love with their space again—all from wherever you're most comfortable. We’re talking real projects, real people, and real impact. Every week, you’ll transform everyday homes into something that feels brand new. Let’s get into what your days might look like.

What Your Day Might Look Like

You log on with a coffee in hand. Maybe you're in your home office, your kitchen, or sitting outside. Wherever you are, you’re ready to dig into today’s lineup of renovation projects. Your first call? A couple looking to knock down a wall and open up their space. You guide them through the design plan, answer their "What if we..." questions, and sketch out a new layout that makes sense for how they actually live. Next up, you're diving into a 3D model for a tiny guest bathroom that needs a complete overhaul. It's tight, but you're clever—and you love a challenge. You check in with the team on Slack. Someone just wrapped a project that’s getting tons of love on Instagram. Feels good to be part of that win. Before you log off, you hop on a quick huddle with another designer to bounce around ideas. It’s casual, it’s collaborative, and it actually helps. That’s your rhythm here: focused design time, real client impact, and a remote team that’s always got your back.

What You'll Work On

This isn’t cookie-cutter stuff. Your work actually shapes homes and how people feel in them. Here’s what you’ll get into:

• Creating innovative, functional, beautiful renovation designs for real clients
• Using design software (SketchUp, AutoCAD, Chief Architect, or whatever you’re comfortable with)
• Offering layout suggestions, space planning advice, and style tips
• Collaborating with remote teammates—project managers, other designers, and clients
• Turning tricky problems into clear, creative solutions
• Helping clients stay on track with timelines and budgets

And yes, you’ll have time to breathe. We keep things realistic around here.

Who You’ll Work With

We’re a remote-first team, which means you’re never stuck in one place—but you’re never alone, either. We chat daily, hop on quick video calls, and celebrate the small stuff. You might trade ideas with Priya, who’s known for her wild tile picks (that always work). Or brainstorm layout hacks with James, our go-to for tiny-space transformations. Everyone brings something different to the table. We work hard, laugh often, and genuinely like helping people love their homes.

Who This Role is Perfect For

You don’t need to be some design superstar or HGTV-famous. What matters is that you understand how homes work and actually listen to what people need. You’ll probably love this job if:

• You’ve designed home spaces before (residential renovation is your comfort zone)
• You’re great at explaining ideas in a simple, friendly way
• You’re tech-savvy and comfortable with remote tools
• You have experience using design software (and can pick up new ones fast)
• You enjoy solving puzzles—tight spaces, strict budgets, odd layouts
• You like variety and don’t mind jumping between projects

Honestly? If you’ve helped a friend redesign their kitchen and explained the layout on a napkin, you’re probably our kind of person.

Tools We Use (and You Can, Too)

No, you don’t have to use them all. But if you know a few, that’s a great start.

• SketchUp
• AutoCAD
• Chief Architect
• Revit
• Canva (yep, sometimes a mood board says it all)
• Trello, Slack, Notion for team stuff

We’ll help you get set up with whatever tools you need to do your best work.

Challenges We Tackle Together

Let’s be real. Designing from a distance isn’t always easy. Sometimes a client struggles to explain what they want. Sometimes you have to nudge someone out of analysis paralysis. And yes, occasionally remote work feels a little... quiet. But here? We tackle that together. We hold quick feedback calls. We drop quick voice notes to clarify design changes. We even have a virtual "show & tell" every Friday where someone shares a recent design win. We don’t just work remotely. We work connected.

What Success Looks Like

Let’s paint the picture. You’re in the groove. Clients feel heard. Your ideas are fresh. Deadlines? Handled. You’re balancing creativity with practicality, and it shows in every design you send out. People start asking for you by name. They say things like:

• “You totally understood what I meant when I said 'cozy but modern.'”
• “You saved us from making a costly mistake.”
• “We didn’t think we could love this space again. But we do now.”

That’s the kind of feedback we hear around here. And it never gets old.

Schedule & Flexibility

This is a full-time remote role. But we’re flexible where it counts. You can structure your workday around your energy levels, your timezone, or your family schedule. We care more about the work you do than when you do it. We run on trust, not timesheets.

Pay & Perks

This role pays $77,000 a year, and that’s just the start. You’ll also get:

• Full remote setup support
• Time off when you need it (we actually mean that)
• Design resources and training
• Weekly team huddles + 1:1 check-ins
• A real path to grow your career here

We don’t believe in burnout. We believe in doing great work and having a life outside it.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve ever thought, "I wish I could use my design skills without the commute, the showroom, or the long client lunches," this is that chance. Here, your talent gets to shine—from wherever you feel most inspired. Come help us shape better homes, one design at a time.
