• Ensure designs are technically sound and installation-friendly with minimal site escalations.
• Proactively identify and resolve client concerns and execution challenges.
• Coordinate closely with production, operations, and installation teams for seamless delivery.
• Mentor and guide junior designers, ensuring design excellence and best practices.
• Contribute to process improvements and uphold HomeLane's design and quality standards.

• Strong hands-on site experience with deep understanding of installation feasibility and execution challenges.
• Proven experience handling premium residential interior projects.
• Strong commercial acumen with the ability to drive conversions and manage high-value customers.
• Proficiency in Google SketchUp (mandatory); working knowledge of rendering tools such as Enscape or V-Ray will be an added advantage.
• Strong knowledge of space planning, modular furniture systems, materials, and production processes.
• Highly customer-centric mindset with the ability to balance design, functionality, timelines, and budget.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and stakeholder management skills. Fluency in English is mandatory; knowledge of the local language is an added advantage.
