Tech-Savvy Interior Designer (AI, Tools, Workflow Expert) – Short-Term Research & Advisory - Contract to Hire
We are building an AI-powered interior design platform and are looking for a tech-savvy interior designer (or design student) to research, test, and analyze the latest tools used in the industry.
This role is for someone who is curious, hands-on, and excited about the future of design + technology.
You will not just research — you will actively test tools and break them down.
What you will do:
Research current interior design platforms, tools, and workflows
Test AI and design tools such as:
ChatGPT
Claude
Midjourney
DALL·E
SketchUp
Other interior design/rendering/sourcing tools
Simulate real design workflows using these tools
Document:
What works well
What doesn’t work
Where the tools fail
Where designers still struggle
Create structured summaries (Google Docs / Sheets)
Provide insights on how these tools could be improved
What we are looking for:
Background in interior design/architecture (or current student)
Strong interest in technology and AI tools
Comfortable exploring new platforms independently
Analytical thinking — not just visual taste
Ability to clearly document findings and insights
Curious mindset: you enjoy testing and figuring things out
This is NOT for you if:
You only focus on aesthetics and visuals
You don’t enjoy testing tools or learning new software
Deliverables:
Structured research on tools and competitors
Comparison tables (features, pros/cons, use cases)
Workflow breakdowns
Summary with key insights:
What is missing in the market
Where current tools fail designers
Opportunities for new solutions
Engagement:
Part-time / project-based
Possibility to extend into ongoing collaboration
To apply, please answer:

Have you tried any AI tools (e.g. Midjourney, ChatGPT)? How?
Are you comfortable testing new tools and documenting your findings?
Share an example of a project or workflow you’ve worked on
