Interior Design Student – Real Hospitality Project in London (Paid Opportunity)

Salary 15£/hour
Hours 10h/month
Location London
Closing Date 30 September 2025
Position Type Freelance
Advert expires on 30 September 2025

Main Duties

We’re a London-based team preparing to launch a New York-style takeaway pizza concept — warm, modern, design-forward — and we’re looking for a talented UAL student or recent graduate in interior or spatial design to help shape the format of our first shop. We specifically are looking for someone who can elevate “street art” into a more sophisticated and functional format.

This is a real-world, built project, not a concept brief. It’s an ideal opportunity for a student who wants to work on a live commercial space and build their portfolio with something that will actually launch — not just sit in a sketchbook.

We deeply value artistic expression in commercial spaces — as much (if not more) than their functionality — and we’re looking for someone who shares that philosophy.

The role includes:

Developing interior concepts, mood boards, and material palettes

Planning layout and flow for a small-format, high-impact takeaway shop

Thinking through scalable design for rollout across future branches

Preparing visuals for presentations and internal design discussions

Skills and Experience Required

A student or recent graduate in interior/spatial/environmental design

Someone with an interest in hospitality or food-related spaces

A keen eye for detail and atmosphere

Collaborative energy and good communication skills

Bonus: experience with SketchUp, Rhino, AutoCAD, or Adobe Suite
