A studio manager at LUMstudio will be a person with a passion for the design process in general, and residential lighting, in particular. Prospective candidates should be able to read and clearly understand architectural drawings and, with my help, eventually be willing to reseach and study the various fixture options, and articulate comparisons and contracts between them. This will be a learning process and requires a taste for storytellling and listening to clients. Further,..and over time and experience… this work will require a good sense of color and scale, as well as a broad recognition of various cultural aesthetics…and how these might find relevance in the homes and personalities of clients, through lighting and furnishing. This is a career position for a well-spoken someone with some design background, excellent communication skills, marketing experience, social media comfort, and patience. While there will be sales and procurement processes involved in this job that will require strong organizational and logic skills, this is also a great opportunity to promote and guide a Culture of Design in our community, through lighting and furnishing…two of the most carefully and thoughfully created Products of a modern internationally driven design process. Travel, in reality or through books and imagery, certainly an asset!
