About the role

Omo Tea House & Restaurant is looking for a creative, detail-oriented Interior Designer to help refresh its interior and exterior spaces.

• Propose practical solutions that fit the agreed budget and refine the concept based on team feedback.

Required profile

• A portfolio showing strong interior design skills and a thoughtful approach to commercial spaces.
• Experience designing cafés, restaurants or other hospitality spaces is an advantage.
• Ability to translate a brand's character into a cohesive physical environment.
• Understanding of materials, lighting, proportions and spatial planning.
• Ability to explain design choices, respond to feedback and meet agreed deadlines.
• Exterior frontage and entrance design experience is a plus.
