Job Captain

Job Captain DescriptionWestside Design is a design practice driven by innovation and efficiency, redefining how homes are designed and built on LA's westside. Born from a powerhouse collaboration with Westside Build, our team brings together decades of high-end single-family residential design experience, spec building expertise, and cutting-edge digital fabrication/technological integration to deliver exceptional homes at an approachable price point.Westside Design is a young and dynamic studio dedicated to crafting homes that are thoughtful, high-quality, and deeply connected to their context. Our projects range from internal spec developments to client-driven custom homes and fire rebuilds for communities impacted by the recent wildfires.We believe great design is never a one-size-fits-all solution.
