Design And Development Architect

Kinetic Design + Development is looking for a Architectural Designer 2 to join the Krew.

If you’re a designer who thrives in both the creative and technical sides of the process, this role is for you.

You’ll play a key role in shaping projects from early concepts through construction documentation, balancing thoughtful design with technical precision. This is an opportunity for an emerging architectural professional ready to take ownership of project components, collaborate closely with clients and consultants, and help move projects forward with confidence and clarity.
