Bolt Design Group

About Bolt

Bolt is a full-service Design + Build firm based in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. We design and deliver exceptional spaces for hospitality, retail, and lifestyle clients who care about craft, culture, and experience. With in-house design, fabrication, and construction teams under one roof, we're able to move quickly, think holistically, and bring bold ideas to life with precision.

The Role

Senior Designer

We're entering our next chapter — and we're looking for a Senior Designer who can help shape it. As Senior Designer, you'll take the creative reins on Bolt's most important projects. You'll work closely with our clients, internal teams, and fabrication shop to design spaces that are not just beautiful, but memorable, innovative, and distinctly Bolt. You'll bring a strong point of view — and a willingness to challenge norms. We're not looking for someone to replicate what's been done. We're looking for someone to push boundaries, rethink hospitality, and help build a studio that defines what comes next in New York City's built environment. You'll also play a critical role in guiding junior designers, improving studio standards, and driving Bolt's design culture forward.

What You'll Do

• Lead design from concept through completion across a range of commercial interior projects (restaurants, bars, cafes, retail, and more)
• Collaborate with clients, builders, fabricators, and consultants to develop integrated, buildable, and boundary-pushing solutions
• Generate mood boards, conceptual narratives, plans, elevations, renderings, and FF&E palettes with clarity and vision
• Oversee drawing sets and deliverables with high attention to detail and design integrity
• Guide and mentor junior designers, giving thoughtful feedback and helping them grow
• Translate abstract client goals into experiential design strategies
• Constantly seek out inspiration, material innovation, and cultural references that elevate the work
• Contribute to Bolt's creative direction, branding presence, and studio evolution

What We're Looking For
