Frequently asked questions
Interior Designer Cover Letter Sample (Full Text Version)
I'm applying for the Interior Designer role at Bright Studio. Over 6 years across residential and boutique hospitality, I've come to believe great interior work is defined at the drawing set — clean elevations, honest schedules, and finish specs that survive the punch list.
My most recent lead was a 4,200 sq ft residence delivered on time and 4% under a $1.6M budget. I owned schematic through CA, produced the full CD set in Revit, and coordinated MEP with our consultant team across 22 site visits.
Bright Studio's residential portfolio is exactly the environment where I want to grow into senior project lead. I'd welcome a portfolio review conversation.
Portfolio linked above — I'd welcome a chance to talk further.
