Freelance interior designer jobs in the U.S.

I have dimensioned ground and first floor plans for a residential home and would like to create an accurate 3D model that I can use to visualise and develop the project.
The initial scope involves converting the existing 2D plans into a 3D model using Homestyler, SketchUp, or another user-friendly platform that is accessible to the general public and easy for me to continue working with after completion.
The model should accurately represent the floor plans, including walls, doors, windows, stairs, and other key architectural elements.
At this stage, I am not looking for photorealistic renders. My priority is an accurate, well-organised model that I can use to explore layouts, fitouts, and design ideas.
This is primarily a one-off project. However, if the initial work is successful, there is potential for ongoing collaboration on an hourly basis as the project develops. Future work may include assistance with bathroom and kitchen layouts, cabinetry, furniture placement, finishes, materials, and other interior fitout decisions.
Please provide:
Examples of similar residential projects
Your preferred software platform and why you recommend it
Your fixed-price quote for the initial model
Your hourly rate for future work
Please begin your proposal with the word "Sydney" to confirm that you have read the full brief.

Framer Website Designer (UI/UX & Copywriting) for Luxury Natural Stone Brand

Project Type: Fixed Price (Potential for Ongoing Work)
Location: Remote

About Us

Regray Stone & Furniture is a premier supplier of luxury natural stone slabs and bespoke stone furniture in the Philippines. We specialize in natural stone surfaces, countertops, kitchen islands, tables, and custom furniture pieces for high-end residential and commercial projects.

We are looking for an experienced Framer Website Designer with strong UI/UX design and copywriting skills to rebuild our website in Framer.

Project Scope

We have already:

* Purchased a premium Framer template
* Prepared the UI direction and design assets
* Prepared the Figma files for the website

The project is primarily focused on implementing, customizing, and elevating the experience in Framer, rather than creating the website design entirely from scratch.

Important Website Direction

Please review our current website: www.regraystone.com

We would like the new Framer website to replicate our existing website’s structure, pages, categories, and overall content flow, but with a completely refreshed and elevated design.

The objective is to maintain the familiarity and information architecture of our current website while creating a more modern, premium, and luxurious user experience that better represents the Regray Stone brand.

We are not looking for a completely new sitemap or a direct copy of the current design. We want to retain the existing content structure while significantly improving the design, presentation, and overall user experience.

Responsibilities

* Build and customize the website in Framer using our purchased template and Figma files
* Create a premium, modern, and luxurious user experience
* Refine layouts, visual hierarchy, animations, and interactions
* Enhance website copy and calls-to-action where appropriate
* Organize content and imagery to better showcase our products and projects
* Ensure full responsiveness across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices
* Set up CMS collections where appropriate
* Implement basic SEO and performance optimization
* Handle the migration and connection of our existing domain from Shopify to Framer and ensure a smooth, fully functioning website launch

Requirements

* Proven experience designing and developing websites in Framer
* Experience with custom domain setup, DNS configuration, and website migrations to Framer
* Strong UI/UX and visual storytelling skills
* Excellent copywriting and content structuring abilities
* Strong sense of modern luxury and minimalist design
* Experience with architecture, interior design, furniture, luxury brands, or natural stone companies is highly preferred
* Understanding of natural stone materials and design applications is a significant advantage

Important

Please do not apply if you do not have previous Framer projects.

To apply, please provide:

1. Links to at least three live Framer websites you have designed
2. Portfolio showcasing premium or luxury brands
3. Your role in each project (UI design, development, copywriting, etc.)
4. Estimated timeline for completion
5. Proposed fixed-price fee
6. Briefly describe your experience with migrating domains and launching websites on Framer

We are looking for someone who can create a website experience that feels sophisticated, timeless, and premium while faithfully mirroring the structure of our existing website and leveraging the UI and Figma files we have already prepared.

We are seeking a skilled designer to create a professional-looking book cover and interior layout for our upcoming publication. The ideal candidate will have experience in book design and be able to deliver high-quality work within a short timeframe. The project involves designing both the cover and interior pages, ensuring a cohesive and visually appealing final product.

Overview
We're designing a private wellness studio. Intimate suites where guests enjoy sauna, cold plunge, shower, and red light therapy in their own calm, beautiful private room. Premium and serene. A boutique wellness retreat, not a gym.

We want a designer to grow with us across multiple stages: concept, layout, theme, and refinement. This is the start of a long relationship, and we're open to designers anywhere in the world.

Where We Are
Early stage. We're not after construction drawings. We want a portable concept and flexible layout: a look, a feel, and a floorplan we can adapt to our future space. Our team is building a Pinterest board to share our direction with you.

The Vibe
Warm, minimal, premium. Japanese wellness meets natural materials: linen, wood, stone, soft warm light, greenery. Calm, tactile, grounded.

Rough Idea to Design Around
• Several private suites, a few larger for couples
• A welcoming lobby and reception
• A small retail area
• A calm lounge with seating
• Guest bathrooms
• A grooming / vanity space
All flexible. Nothing here is fixed.

Looking For
A great eye for beautiful, intentional space. Spa, wellness, hospitality, retail, or residential backgrounds all welcome. Share work you're proud of and what excites you about this, and we'll shape scope and pace together.

I am the principal of an interior design firm in the United States. I'm looking for an individual that's an expert in interior design. The role involves creating high-quality presentations for luxury residential projects. Once approved, you will be responsible to produce the construction documents independantly without oversight. The ideal candidate will have experience in using Autocad, Photoshop/ InDesign, and 3D renderings software to produce photorealistic renderings.

I'm a Bay Area based residential interior designer (Lost and Found) seeking an ongoing CAD partner to support my project drawings.

About the work

I work on high-end residential projects and need clean, presentation-ready CAD drawings to support my design work, client presentations, and contractor coordination. The first project is a luxury apartment in the Bay Area (eight rooms plus an outdoor balcony), with additional projects in the pipeline. I'd love to build a long-term working relationship.

Scope of work for the first project (Springline)
Floor plans for each of eight rooms (Living Room, Dining Room, Primary Bedroom, Primary Bathroom, two kids' rooms, Kids' Bathroom, Hallway Nook), plus an outdoor balcony. Each plan to show furniture placement at scale, rug footprints, lighting positions on the floor, and room dimensions.

Note: the Living Room and Dining Room share one open floor plan but should be designed as two distinct functional zones.

Elevation drawings for selected walls, with priority on:
Hallway Nook wall featuring hand-painted de Gournay wallpaper. Requires precise dimensions and detail mapping for the de Gournay studio to plan the painted panels.

Two additional walls in rooms with patterned wallpaper (Phillip Jeffries grasscloth and Farrow & Ball Broad Stripe) where panel layout matters.
Living Room walls showing furniture placement and paint specifications.

Primary Bedroom showing furniture, wallpaper boundaries, and window treatments (Note: revised draft will be done after the early July meeting).

Lighting plans, simplified format only. Floor-plan markup showing position of pendants, chandeliers, and recessed cans per room, plus basic switching notes (which switch controls what). No elevation work needed for lighting because fixtures are limited to ceiling-mounted (no wall sconces requiring mounting-height callouts). Paired with a simple fixture schedule listing each item with vendor and spec.
Material and finish schedules tied to plan locations (floor, wall, ceiling, trim per room).

What I’m looking for

Designer or architect comfortable working in AutoCAD, SketchUp, or Revit (whatever your preferred tool, I'm flexible).

Clean, presentation-ready output. The drawings will be shared with clients, contractors, and renderers.

Experience with high-end residential projects preferred. Familiarity with brands like Pierre Frey, Phillip Jeffries, and de Gournay is a plus but not required.

Comfortable working from my marked-up photos and dimensional sketches rather than only from architect-supplied plans. I have detailed site notes I can hand off as inputs.

Practical notes on the work
For outlets and switches, I'll spec standard heights (outlets 15 inches, switches 48 inches from floor) unless I call out a specific position. Focus elevation accuracy on ceiling fixtures, art placement, wallpaper boundaries, and architectural built-ins.

I work primarily from photos and field measurements when architectural plans do not exist (this is one such apartment). Comfort drawing from photos and notes is important.
I'll provide a written scope per drawing with reference images, dimensions, and design intent.

To apply, please share
Three to five samples of your past work, especially residential floor plans, elevations, and lighting plans.
Your rate (per drawing, per project, or per hour, whatever you prefer).

Your typical turnaround for floor plans, elevations, and lighting plans.

Any reference designers, architects, or studios you've worked with.
Your preferred file delivery format (PDF, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Revit).

Project timing
I have a client meeting scheduled for July 3, 4, or 5. To meet that timeline, I need the first round of drawings completed within one week of hiring. I'm willing to pay above standard rates for the speed.

A note on the first deliverable
I'm starting our working relationship with one paid deliverable (the outdoor balcony drawing) as a working-fit check. This is paid work at your standard rate, not spec work. You'll be compensated for the deliverable regardless of whether we continue together.

If the first deliverable is strong (clean output, good communication, on-time turnaround), we'll move forward with the full Round 1 scope due by end of June and an ongoing partnership across additional projects in my pipeline. If we're not the right fit for either of us, you're still paid for the work you completed.

This approach protects both of us: you're paid for real work, I get to evaluate fit on a small scope before committing to the full project.

Round 1 (week 1 from hire, ideal completion by June 27th):
All deliverables needed for the July 3 to 5 client meeting. Includes all eight floor plans plus the outdoor balcony with furniture placement and lighting markup, priority elevations for Living Room, Hallway Nook (de Gournay wall), and Primary Bedroom, and initial material schedules for those three rooms.

Note that the Living Room and Dining Room share one open floor plan but should be designed as two distinct functional zones
Round 2 (ideal completion by June 30th):
Remaining elevations for other rooms.
Final material schedules across all spaces.
Any revisions from round 1.

Round 3 (post-meeting, week of July 6)
2nd drafts of Primary Bedroom

I'm targeting a long-term ongoing partnership across additional Bay Area residential projects in my pipeline. The right freelancer becomes my CAD partner going forward. Future projects will have longer lead times.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Project Brief
Vector Illustration Refinement & Layered Production Artwork Update (Version 1.3)
Project Overview
I have an existing vector illustration that has already been completed and color-separated into five layers.
The artwork has been approved aesthetically and is entering the next phase of production.
I am seeking an experienced vector illustrator / production artist to make a small number of targeted refinements while preserving the overall appearance, composition, and layer architecture.
This is a refinement project, not a redesign project.

Project Objective
Update the existing master artwork and separation package to improve production robustness while maintaining the current visual appearance as closely as possible.
The finished artwork should look substantially identical to the approved version at normal viewing size.

Artwork Specifications
Final Artwork Size
• 4.5” × 4.5” square
Canvas Size
• Must remain identical to supplied source files
Registration
• Existing registration marks must remain unchanged
• Registration mark locations must remain unchanged
• Layer-to-layer alignment must be preserved
Design Evaluation Requirement
Artwork should be reviewed and refined with the understanding that the final reproduction size is only 4.5” × 4.5”.
Particular attention should be given to:
• Fine detail
• Small negative spaces
• Line weight
• Texture readability
• Small interior openings

Revision Requirements
1. Sky Treatment
Current State
The sky is represented as a large continuous color field.
Required Changes
Maintain the visual appearance of a blue sky while introducing additional texture and open space.
Incorporate:
• Horizontal texture bands
• Broken line fields
• Small open gaps
Target
Approximately 55–65% color coverage.
Visual Intent
The sky should continue to read as a blue sky at normal viewing distance while incorporating a subtle vintage print aesthetic.

Reference
Image below is a reference for the revision – i.e., notice how blue background isn’t a solid color, rather is “broken” up by use of diagonal lines.


2. Water Treatment
Preserve Exactly
The following elements must remain unchanged:
• Reflection shapes
• Reflection boundaries
• Reflection proportions
• Reflection placement
Required Changes
Modify only the surrounding water field.
Introduce:
• Horizontal ripple bands
• Water texture strips
• Small coverage breaks
• Controlled open areas
Note – this revision is similar to “1. Sky Treatment”
Target
Approximately 55–65% color coverage outside the reflection areas.
Critical Requirement
Reflection geometry must remain identical to the approved artwork.
No reinterpretation, reshaping, or redrawing of reflections.
Reference
Image below is a reference for the revision – i.e., notice how blue background isn’t a solid color, rather is “broken” up by use of diagonal lines.


3. Vegetation Refinement
Current State
Some vegetation areas contain very fine interior detail.
Required Changes
Improve clarity and simplify detail while preserving the existing visual appearance.
Suggested approaches:
• Slightly enlarge interior negative spaces
• Open interior tree texture
• Simplify the smallest needles and branch cuts where appropriate
Visual Intent
Maintain the overall character and silhouette of the vegetation while improving readability and consistency.

Elements That Must Not Change
• Overall composition
• Typography
• Border treatment
• Main illustration geometry
• Color palette
• Registration structure
• Reflection geometry
• Overall visual style

Layer Integrity Requirements
The artwork has been intentionally structured into five existing color layers.
The revised artwork must preserve this layer architecture.
Existing Layers
1. Keyline
2. Blue
3. Orange
4. Crimson
5. Green


Requirements
• Preserve existing layer relationships
• Preserve layer alignment
• Preserve layer registration
• Do not introduce additional colors
• Do not introduce gradients
• Do not introduce transparency effects
• Do not introduce blended effects
• Do not introduce raster-only textures that cannot be separated cleanly
The revised artwork must remain fully separable into the five existing layers.

Source Files Provided
Selected freelancer will receive:
• Current master artwork
• Existing layer files
• Composite proof
• Supporting production files

Deliverables
Revised Master Artwork
Formats:
• SVG
• PNG
• JPG

Revised Layer Package
Provide each layer individually in:
• SVG
• PNG
• JPG
Layers:

• Blue
• Orange
• Crimson
• Green

Composite Proof
Provide:
• Full-color composite
• PNG
• JPG

Review Sheet
Provide a review sheet showing:

Success Criteria
The project will be considered successful if:
1. The revised artwork remains visually consistent with the approved version.
2. Sky texture is introduced without materially changing appearance.
3. Water texture is introduced while preserving reflection geometry exactly.
4. Vegetation detail is simplified without changing overall character.
5. Layer architecture remains intact.

Interactive 3D Virtual Walkthrough + Photorealistic Renderings — New Construction Home (Built From Plans)

Project Snapshot

I have complete architect's drawings for a two-story single-family home (remodel + large addition) plus a detached ADU, garage, pool, and full landscaping. The home is not yet built — I need it brought to life digitally from the plans so I can walk through it, evaluate the design, and finalize landscaping decisions before construction.


Property: 5912 Jensen Rd, Castro Valley, CA 94552
Lot: ~0.75 acres (32,474 SF)
Main house: Two stories, ~5,497 SF total (≈3,066 SF first floor, ≈2,431 SF second floor)
Detached ADU: ~1,200 SF, single story, at the rear
Garage: 3-car, tucked beneath the pool deck
Site: Pool (15'×30'), pool deck, outdoor kitchen + courtyard, terraced garden, recreation area, basketball court (see notes), driveway, carport, perimeter fencing, and a front gate
Architect of record: Kodama Diseño Architects (drawings provided)



What I Need (Two Deliverables)

Deliverable 1 — Interactive 3D Virtual Walkthrough ("Matterport-style")

I want a navigable, first-person 3D experience of the entire property — the kind of tour where I move room to room and floor to floor on my own, looking in any direction. This is NOT a still image and NOT a fixed video. I control the movement.

Important: A true Matterport scan only works on a building that already exists. Since this home isn't built yet, I need this same experience generated from the plans as a real-time / navigable 3D model (Twinmotion, Lumion, Unreal Engine, D5, or equivalent), or as a connected 360° virtual tour. Please confirm in your proposal which engine you'll use and how I'll view it (web link, downloadable app, etc.).

The walkthrough must let me:


Move continuously from the street → front gate → front yard → into the house → up to the second floor → out to the balconies/decks → back yard → pool → ADU → recreation area → basketball court, with no gaps.
Enter and look around every room on both floors of the main house.
Enter and look around every room of the ADU.
Walk around the outside of the main house and around the outside of the ADU (all four sides of each).
See every window, door, gate, and fence in their correct positions.
A "dollhouse" overhead view that shows all floors at once (like the reference image) is a strong plus.


Deliverable 2 — Photorealistic 3D Still Renderings

In addition to the walkthrough, I want a set of high-resolution photorealistic still renderings:


Every individual room in the main house (both floors).
Every individual room in the ADU.
Exterior renderings from multiple angles: front (street view), both sides, rear, and aerial/bird's-eye of the whole property.
Renderings that clearly show the pool, pool deck, outdoor kitchen, courtyard, terraced garden, basketball court, and landscaping.


I want both the interactive walkthrough and the matching still renderings of every space — not one or the other.


Accuracy Requirements (Please Read Carefully)

Everything must be built to scale, directly from the dimensioned drawings. This is critical:


Ceiling heights must match the plans exactly. First floor is 14'-0" floor-to-floor; second floor is 12'-0". If a room shows 10 ft, model 10 ft. If it shows 12 ft, model 12 ft. Do not "eyeball" vertical heights.
Room sizes, window sizes/placement, door locations, stairs, balconies, and railings must follow the dimensioned drawings.
Where the summary square-footage numbers and the dimensioned drawings disagree slightly, always follow the dimensioned drawings, not the summary figures.
Exterior materials should match the architect's material legend: white stucco, white marble, black stucco accents, and glass railings.



Landscaping & Trees — A Major Goal

A big reason for this project is to evaluate the landscaping before planting. I want to see what the specified trees and plants will actually look like in place, so I can decide whether to swap any species.


Model the exact tree layout and placement shown in the landscape plan (sheet L1.0).
Use the correct, real species at a realistic size so I can judge them. The plan specifies:

Trees: Thornless Honey Locust (Gleditsia triacanthos 'Inermis'), London Plane (Platanus acerifolia 'Columbia'), Columnar Evergreen Magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora 'Little Gem'), Eddie's Dogwood (Cornus 'Eddie's White Wonder'), Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo 'Marina'), Forest Pansy Redbud (Cercis 'Forest Pansy').
Shrubs: Flowering Currant, Dwarf Mat Rush, Dwarf Oleander, Japanese Boxwood.
Groundcovers: Green Supreme Manzanita, Pt. Reyes Ceanothus.
Bioswale mix: California Fuchsia, Douglas Iris, White Sage, Common Rush.



The trees and landscaping must be visible from the exterior AND from inside every room (i.e., what I'd actually see looking out each window).
Please make it straightforward for me to request tree swaps (e.g., replace species X with species Y in a given location) as a revision.



Design Changes (These OVERRIDE the Base Plans)

The PDF plan set (JENSEN_RD_FOR_COUNTY_REVIEW) is the master reference for the overall building, site, elevations, and dimensions. However, apply the following changes, and where the updated floor-plan images conflict with the PDF, the updated images win.


Front gate setback: The plans show a 20-ft setback from the street at the front gate. Change this to a 10-ft setback (gate sits 10 ft from the street). (Visualization only — for design evaluation, not permitting.)
Remove the skylight: There is a skylight in the middle of the house (shown as "Skylight Above / Open Below" on the second-floor plan). Do not include the skylight.
Build the exact tree setup outdoors per the landscape plan, as described in the Landscaping section above, so I can plan and adjust landscaping.
Use the updated floor-plan images for room layouts. The detailed PDF is the master set, but files 2–6 contain important layout updates that supersede the PDF:

First floor layout → use the updated first-floor image (Living, Dining, Kitchen, Pantry, Mud Room, Game Room, Library, Office, Foyer, Great Room, Baths, 3-car Garage, Carport).
Second floor layout → use the updated second-floor image (note the master-suite changes — bedroom, foyer, vanity/desk, double sink, walk-in closets, shower — marked in yellow on that image).
ADU layout → use the updated ADU floor-plan image (Master BR#1, BR#2, Kitchen, Dining, Living, two Baths, Laundry/Pantry, Closets).



Front facade massing change: On the current plans, the left and right portions of the front project further forward than the central entrance (the middle is recessed). Push the central entry volume forward toward the street so it projects out past — or flush with the front of — the left and right wings. Do not change the left and right portions at all — only bring the middle entry forward. See reference images 7 and 8 (front of house) for the look I'm going for — a prominent, forward-projecting central entry portal.

Aesthetic Direction

Modern / contemporary, clean lines, flat roof, large floor-to-ceiling glass, white stucco with marble and black accents — consistent with the architect's perspective renderings in the plan set and the reference images. Daytime lighting, realistic California residential setting.


Technical / Format Expectations

Please specify in your proposal:


The engine/platform you'll use and exactly how I'll access the walkthrough (shareable web link preferred; note any software I'd need to install).
Whether the dollhouse/floor-by-floor overhead view is included.
Still-render resolution (4K preferred) and file formats delivered.
How revisions work (especially for tree/landscape swaps and facade/setback tweaks) and how many rounds are included.
Whether you can also deliver a guided fly-through video as an optional add-on.



Who I'm Looking For


Proven experience in architectural visualization (archviz) — real-time walkthroughs and photorealistic stills.
A portfolio showing navigable/interactive 3D tours of unbuilt homes (please link live examples I can click through, not just images).
Ability to work accurately and to scale from professional CAD/PDF construction documents.
Strong landscaping/vegetation modeling (real species, realistic placement).


Please Include in Your Proposal


Live links to 2–3 interactive walkthroughs you've built (clickable, ideally of unbuilt homes).
Sample still renderings (interior + exterior + landscaping).
Your engine/platform and how I'll view the final tour.
Timeline to first draft and to final.
Total cost, broken out by: (a) interactive walkthrough, (b) interior still renderings, (c) exterior/aerial still renderings, (d) landscaping, and (e) revision rounds.
What you'd need from me beyond the files provided.



Notes


Basketball court: Not currently on the plans. I'll provide a video that shows location and dimensions — adding it in the rear recreation area. (PS I couldn't upload the video it was too large I added an image and once the project starts I can send video

Overview

We are mid-way through the design phase of a new single-storey residential build and have received expert feedback identifying specific areas of the plan that need refinement. The overall layout and courtyard concept are locked — we are not looking for a redesign. We need an interior architect to work deeply on four discrete zones of the floor plan and deliver resolved, buildable layout alternatives for each.

A current floor plan and a written design critique from an architect will be provided upon engagement.

Scope of Work

You will focus exclusively on the following four areas. Please do not propose changes outside these zones.

1. Kitchen
The current U-shaped layout needs to be reconsidered. We are looking for an L-shaped cabinetry run (incorporating fridge, pantry, ovens, and secondary storage) with a freestanding island running east–west, sized to accommodate 5–6 bar stools. The island should function as the social heart of the home. Circulation clearances must be properly resolved.

2. Master Suite - Bedroom, Ensuite + Robe
The master suite has south facing views and layout options are required that optimise functionality and feel.

3. Family Bathroom + Powder Room
The bath currently sits within the circulation path, making the room feel tight. We want a resolved layout that includes a bath, shower, single vanity, and toilet. The adjacent powder room should also function as a get-ready space for teenage girls - vanity, bench space, large mirror, and power points for hair tools.

4. Second Living / Guest Room (Bedroom Wing)
The current dog-leg layout with a small kitchenette feels unresolved. We want a simplified, straight joinery wall that integrates kitchenette, TV, display, and storage in one clean built-in unit, with improved bedroom storage on the opposite side.

What We Need Delivered

• Revised floor plan layouts for each of the four zones (PDF)
• Elevation sketches or diagrams for kitchen island, ensuite, and joinery wall
• Brief written notes (one paragraph per area) explaining your layout decisions
• At least one alternative option per area where the geometry allows it

What We Don’t Need

• Feedback on or changes to the overall floor plan, courtyard, glazing, or structural layout
• 3D renders or visualisations
• Specification of finishes, fixtures, or materials

About the Project

• New build, southern hemisphere orientation, south facing river views in bush location
• Single storey, approximately 250m² (floor plan will be shared)
• Family home: two adults, children’s bedroom wing designed for future conversion
• Design intent is contemporary, functional, and liveable — not trend-driven

Ideal Candidate

• Residential interior architecture experience with a strong planning background
• Comfortable working from an existing floor plan with tight constraints
• Can demonstrate past work resolving bathrooms, kitchens, and joinery walls at a detailed level
• Able to deliver clean, scaled drawings — hand sketch with dimensions accepted for initial concepts

Budget & Timeline

• Fixed price preferred — please quote per area or as a package for all four
• Initial concepts within 2 weeks of engagement; final drawings within 4 weeks
• One round of revisions included

To Apply

Please include examples of residential planning work, specifically bathrooms, kitchens, or joinery/built-in design. A brief note on how you’d approach the kitchen island and ensuite problems specifically would help us shortlist quickly.

Project Goal

The objective of this project is to create a premier cigar retail and lounge destination in Northern New Jersey that delivers an exceptional customer experience while maintaining practical construction budgets, operational efficiency, and effective customer flow.

I am seeking an interior designer to assist with the design of my new townhome. The ideal candidate will have experience in creating modern and functional spaces. Responsibilities include selecting furniture, colors, and decor that align with my style and budget. The project is part-time and expected to last less than a month.

I am looking for an experienced WordPress/Elementor web designer, strategist, or copy-focused developer to refine the existing website for DreamRose Design, a residential interior design and project management studio serving Westchester and New York City.

The site is already live and the visual direction is established. I am not looking for a brand new build or a platform migration. Instead, I need a professional who can improve the site’s clarity, positioning, local SEO, mobile layout, and conversion flow so it functions as a stronger business asset.

Core Objectives:

- Positioning: Focus primarily on residential interior design and project management. Secondary services like staging and listing prep should remain but be deprioritized.
- Refinement: Improve homepage flow, services hierarchy, portfolio presentation, and mobile responsiveness.
- Conversion: Strengthen calls-to-action and update the inquiry form to include project type, location, timeline, and budget range to better qualify leads.
- SEO: Implement basic local SEO for Westchester and NYC, including titles, meta descriptions, and image alt text.
- Technical Polish: Fix spacing issues, inconsistent wording, and unfinished sections.

The design should feel refined, warm, editorial, and luxurious quietly confident rather than generic or corporate.

Please include the following in your proposal:

- Links to three live websites you have personally worked on.
- Experience with interior design, luxury services, or creative brands.
- Your recommended approach and what is included/excluded in your pricing.
- Estimated timeline and number of revision rounds.
- Confirmation on whether you provide copy and SEO metadata in a separate document.
- Your workflow regarding Figma mockups versus working directly in Elementor.
- Whether work can be performed on a staging version of the site.

My budget for this initial phase is $300–$700, depending on experience and scope. I am looking for a partner who understands positioning and luxury service presentation, not just technical edits.

Thank you,
