Interior Designer Jobs in Oakland, CA

An Interior Designer in the commercial art industry plays a pivotal role in creating functional and aesthetically pleasing interior spaces by understanding the client's requirements and creating a plan accordingly. They are involved in developing design concepts, coordinating with architects and contractors, selecting color palettes, furniture, flooring, and lighting, and placing orders for materials. Their project scope often includes office buildings, retail stores, restaurants, and other public spaces. They must consider factors such as space planning, safety, accessibility, and sustainability while designing.

Interior Designers should have strong artistic, visualization, and problem-solving skills. They should be proficient in using design software such as AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Adobe Creative Suite. A good understanding of building codes and regulations is crucial. They should possess excellent communication and project management skills as they often coordinate with various stakeholders. A bachelor's degree in Interior Design or related field is typically required, and professional certification such as the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) certificate can be beneficial. Prior to becoming an Interior Designer, a person might have roles such as Design Assistant, Junior Interior Designer, or Architectural Drafter.
