Interior Designer Level I

Similar to Architects, Interiors Designers at Wilson Butler Architects are global thinkers with the skillset to thoroughly work out the details behind their ideas. They possess the ability to establish an overall design vision for a project, successfully translate it for clients and see it through to completion; the ability to visualize 3D spaces, and to understand scale and proportion. It is essential that Interior Designers have an understanding of how things are built (millwork/casework, stairs, railings, etc) and be able and willing to help with the development of architectural details. Interior Designers are a resource of knowledge on materials, products and furniture for every design team at the firm.
