Technical Designer + Project Coordinator

tphan.studio is an Austin-based interior design studio creating commercial and hospitality spaces centered on community, wellness, and movement. The Technical Designer and Project Coordinator will translate client goals into design concepts, produce coordinated construction documents, and communicate ideas through drawings, models, and presentations. The role also supports construction administration, coordinates project stakeholders, and independently manages assigned project scopes.

Responsibilities:

• Translate client goals, brand stories, and project constraints into thoughtful concepts, space plans, finish palettes, and FF&E direction
• Create drawings, 3D models, and presentations that clearly communicate ideas to clients and project teams
• Produce coordinated construction documents, including plans, elevations, details, schedules, and specifications
• Protect design quality through construction by reviewing markups, managing RFIs and submittals, joining site visits, and resolving conflicts early
• Own assigned project scopes, identify gaps, ask useful questions, and keep deliverables moving independently
• Coordinate with the Principal Designer, consultants, vendors, fabricators, and contractors to solve problems early and carry the design through construction

Requirements:

• Proficiency in Revit & Autodesk Forma, with hands-on experience producing coordinated construction document sets
• A portfolio that shows both design thinking and technical execution. Commercial, hospitality, wellness, workplace, retail, or related project experience is especially relevant
• Sound judgment in space planning, materials, FF&E, detailing, and balancing design ambition with budget, code, schedule, and constructability
• Strong visual communication skills using Canva or Photoshop
• Clear, proactive remote-work habits: organized files, reliable follow-through, thoughtful communication, and the ability to manage overlapping priorities
• AI literacy beyond occasional prompting. You are comfortable with AI-supported workflows, managing agents and MCP connectors, coordinating between LLMs and visual diffusion models, and knowing when AI output requires human discernment
• Intermediate-level role with roughly 4–8 years of relevant experience, but quality of work, technical confidence, and judgment are prioritized
• Rendering or visualization experience using Enscape or any diffusion AI tools
