Furniture & Lighting Designer

Furniture & Lighting Designer Company: Windsor Smith Homes Inc Location: Montecito, CA Posted: Jul 23 Windsor Smith Home is expanding its licensed product program, and we are hiring a designer to own it from sketch to shipped SKU. This is not a conceptual role. You will draw furniture and lighting, take it through vendor sampling and specification, hold the line on quality through production, and serve as our day-to-day counterpart to licensing partners. The work is equal parts design instinct and development discipline, and we need someone who is genuinely fluent in both. You will work directly with Windsor and with our existing manufacturing and licensing partners. The product you develop carries the WSH name, so your eye matters as much as your process. Design original furniture and lighting for licensed collections and for WSH interiors projects Produce shop drawings, specification sheets, and dimensioned documentation suitable for factory execution Manage the full development cycle: concept, prototype, sampling rounds, revisions, pre-production approval Source and evaluate materials, finishes, hardware, and componentry Serve as primary point of contact for licensing partners on timelines, deliverables, and approvals Review and comment on partner-produced samples, CADs, and marketing renderings Maintain the product library, tear sheets, and technical archive Support market and showroom launches, including High Point and West Coast trade events Windsor Smith has redefined the way we think about our homes.
