JOB OVERVIEW

Full-Time | Fully Remote | US Eastern Time

A Couple & A Dream is a design-build studio in Florida, and we’re looking for a Kitchen Designer who gets excited about the part of design where ideas become real.

We love beautiful kitchens. But we’re not looking for someone whose work stops at a beautiful rendering.

Our clients are increasingly thoughtful and specific. They care about how their kitchen functions, how the cabinetry is detailed, how appliances integrate, how materials meet, why something is proportioned the way it is, and whether what they see in a presentation can actually be built.

So we’re looking for someone who enjoys going deeper.

Someone who can take the measurements, scans, photos, project information and client direction provided by our Florida team and turn them into a kitchen that is beautiful, technically resolved, detailed and ready to move toward pricing and construction.

This is a fully remote position. You do not need to be located in Florida or in the United States.

# THE KIND OF DESIGNER WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Maybe you’re the person who looks at a kitchen rendering and immediately starts thinking:

Does that refrigerator actually fit?

Where does that filler go?

How is that panel terminating?

Is the island clearance comfortable?

What happens when that drawer opens?

Is that appliance panel-ready?

Does the elevation match the plan?

What happens between the cabinet and the wall?

Are we missing a finished end?

If that sounds like your brain, we should probably talk.

We’re especially interested in designers who understand that the smallest cabinetry details are often what separate a nice-looking kitchen from a professionally resolved one.

# THE WORK

Projects begin with information collected by our team in Florida using our measurement and project documentation systems.

That may include:

* Digital measurements and scans
* Existing-condition plans
* Photos and videos
* Appliance information
* Client requirements
* Design direction
* Construction information

From there, the Kitchen Designer helps develop the project through:

Space Planning ? Cabinetry Design ? Appliance Coordination ? Material Integration ? Technical Drawings ? Design Presentation ? Final Documentation**

The goal is not simply to create a concept.

The goal is to create something our team can confidently move toward pricing, ordering and building.

# CABINETRY KNOWLEDGE MATTERS HERE

We would love to meet someone who has worked seriously with kitchen cabinetry and understands things like:

* Cabinet sizing and configurations
* Base, wall and tall cabinets
* Pantry design
* Drawer configurations
* Fillers and scribes
* Finished ends
* Refrigerator and dishwasher panels
* Decorative panels
* Toe kicks
* Crown and trim
* Open shelving
* Appliance garages
* Interior cabinet accessories
* Trash pull-outs
* Corner solutions
* Hardware
* Inset and overlay cabinetry
* Cabinet modifications
* Islands and seating

You don’t have to know every cabinet manufacturer in the United States.

But we do want someone who understands **how cabinetry goes together** and knows what questions need to be answered before a kitchen is ready.

# DETAILS, DETAILS, DETAILS

Appliances are not placeholders in our projects.

We work from actual specifications and want our kitchen designs coordinated around real products.

That means understanding things like:

* Appliance dimensions
* Required openings
* Clearances
* Ventilation
* Panel-ready appliances
* Plumbing requirements
* Electrical requirements
* Hood requirements
* Refrigerator conditions
* Dishwasher conditions
* Wall ovens and microwaves

The same thinking applies to countertops, backsplash, lighting, plumbing fixtures, hardware and other finish details.

We like designers who are curious about how things connect.

# DESIGN STILL MATTERS — A LOT

Technical ability doesn’t mean we want boring kitchens.

Quite the opposite.

A Couple & A Dream is design-led. We care deeply about materiality, proportion, texture, interesting details and spaces that feel considered rather than copied from a trend.

Before designing, one of the first questions we ask is:

What is the goal?

Who is going to use this kitchen?

How do they live?

What do they care about?

Is this their home, an investment, a rental or a property being prepared for resale?

We want the design to have a reason behind it.

# WHAT WE’D LOVE TO SEE IN YOUR BACKGROUND

Professional experience designing kitchens is important for this role.

Cabinetry experience is even more important.

Experience with some of the following would be valuable:

* 2020 Design
* Chief Architect
* AutoCAD
* SketchUp
* Cabinet Vision
* Other cabinetry or kitchen design software
* Kitchen elevations
* Cabinet plans
* Technical documentation
* Appliance specification review
* Kitchen & bath design
* Millwork
* Interior architecture

Photorealistic rendering is great.

But technical kitchen knowledge matters more to us than rendering skill.

# WORKING REMOTELY WITH US

Our Florida team handles the on-site side of the project.

The remote design team works from the information collected there.

A strong remote Kitchen Designer knows how to review that information critically.

If a dimension is missing, ask.

If two measurements don’t make sense together, flag it.

If another photo or verification would help resolve something, tell us exactly what is needed.

We don’t expect someone remotely to magically know what they cannot see.

We value designers who know when they have enough information to move forward and when they don’t.

# WHY THIS ROLE COULD BE INTERESTING

You won’t just be making kitchens for hypothetical portfolios.

These are real projects.

Clients will see your work.

Vendors will price from it.

Our construction team will build from it.

And you’ll get to see what happens when the decisions made on screen become a physical space.

For the right person, we think that feedback loop is one of the most exciting parts of working inside a design-build studio.

# COMPENSATION

Starting rate: $3.50 USD/hour
Full-time: 40 hours/week
Quarterly performance bonus
Compensation review after 6 months

The quarterly bonus is connected to measurable results the team can influence — including procurement accuracy, avoiding preventable costs, stronger purchasing outcomes and performance.

For this role, we are also especially interested in the value created through vendor negotiations, purchasing improvements and new revenue opportunities.


# HOW TO APPLY

Start your message with KITCHEN.

Then tell us:

1. Tell us about one kitchen you personally designed where you were responsible for more than the rendering. What parts of the project did you handle?**

2. Before you consider a kitchen cabinetry design ready for ordering, what do you typically check?**

3. Tell us about a detail or technical issue you caught before a kitchen went into production or construction.**

Please send:

* Your resume
* Your portfolio
* 3 kitchen projects you personally worked on
* Cabinet plans and/or elevations if available
* Renderings if available
* The software you use

For each project, briefly tell us what you personally did.

We’d rather see one beautifully resolved kitchen with great documentation than twenty beautiful renders with no technical information.
