Interior Architecture Designer II
Symmetry 8 Studio, Irvine, California, United States, 92713
When was the last time you laughed at work? At Sym8, it happens a lot—right alongside deadlines, construction challenges, and real‑world problem‑solving. We design commercial spaces that have to work in the real world, but we believe how we work together matters just as much as what we produce.
People often tell us our studio feels comfortable, welcoming, and genuinely supportive. We take our projects seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We value kindness, collaboration, growth, and showing up for each other—especially when the pressure is on.
If your intuition is nudging you toward a place where you can do great work, build real friendships, and grow as a professional, take a look at the qualifications below and our Work Life at Sym8 summary. If it feels like a fit—or simply makes you curious—we’d love to hear from you and start a conversation.
