We are specifically looking for designers with hands-on experience in intricate, custom-designed and bespoke interiors.

Although this is a hybrid freelance opportunity, physical presence in Hyderabad is mandatory. Designers working remotely from other cities will not be considered.

COMPENSATION

Compensation will be project-based and determined based on the project value, scope and level of involvement required. The scope, responsibilities and professional fee will be discussed and mutually agreed upon before each project is assigned.
