Type: Freelance
Studio Sio is looking for a freelance Designer Assistant to support ongoing NYC-based projects on an hourly basis. This is a hands-on, client-facing role focused on on-the-ground project support and design delivery. Responsibilities include site measure-ups, sourcing furniture, lighting, and materials, collecting and managing samples, meeting with trades and suppliers, viewing vintage and antiques in the NY area, assisting with occasional install days, and assisting with trade and client coordination.
You’ll be working closely with the overseas principal designer to help keep projects organised, moving, and well-resolved — from early sourcing through to implementation. Ideal for someone detail-oriented, reliable, and confident working independently, with a strong understanding of materials and the NYC vendor landscape. Weekday support will be needed to meet with trades, this role would suit someone with other contract work or someone looking for occasional freelance work on top of another flexible position.
