Spatial and Interior Designer, 2 Hour Learning (Remote) - $100,000/year USD
Crossover, Houston, TX, United States
You walk into a room and immediately sense whether it's carefully composed or hastily assembled. You register lighting quality, spatial rhythm, visible clutter, seating logic, and overall atmosphere. Once something feels misaligned, you cannot ignore it. If you want to establish the visual and experiential identity of a high-performance school model, this role offers that opportunity.
2 Hour Learning operates AI-powered private schools in which students complete core academics in two hours daily, then pursue life skills and passion-based projects each afternoon. As campuses open nationwide, the built environment must embody the same promise: deliberate, refined, unconventional, and unmistakably premium. This position defines that standard and ensures it scales reliably across every location.
You will shape the design direction, develop layouts that depart from conventional classroom formats, and document standards to preserve brand integrity during expansion. This is not about managing contractors or overseeing facilities—it is focused, high-judgment design work executed at pace, within real constraints, and under direct scrutiny.
If you possess the discernment to define a category and the discipline to deliver without compromise, we want to speak with you.
What You Will Be Doing
Developing comprehensive design vision packages for campuses—including ethos documentation, mood boards, material selections, lighting strategies, and furniture guidance that communicate premium quality and reject traditional school aesthetics
Generating detailed spatial layouts that support adaptable learning environments, intuitive circulation, and coherent lighting and environmental systems
Establishing and stewarding design standards and control frameworks to maintain visual consistency across campuses while accommodating diverse floor plans
Executing rapid iteration cycles on active campuses by identifying refinement opportunities and producing actionable priority lists that enhance finish quality without disrupting opening schedules
What You Won’t Be Doing
Coordinating vendors, sourcing general contractors, or managing procurement workflows
Supervising construction execution, ongoing maintenance, or senior-level facilities management
Creating conventional, visually pleasant private school interiors with bold primary palettes and institutional surface treatments
Pursuing flawless detail at the expense of project timelines
Spatial And Interior Designer Key Responsibilities This position is accountable for ensuring that every campus opens and matures with a distinctive, premium, non-traditional physical identity that remains coherent as the organization scales.
Basic Requirements
At least 3 years of professional experience in interior, spatial, environmental, or experiential design
Portfolio demonstrating premium physical environments such as hospitality projects, luxury residential work, boutique commercial spaces, cruise ship interiors, or experiential installations
Demonstrated capability to independently produce mood boards and complete conceptual direction for physical spaces
Proven track record creating spatial plans that improve circulation, occupancy efficiency, and user experience
Deep knowledge of materials and lighting—including finishes, texture, color temperature, and their psychological impact
Refined aesthetic judgment supported by clear examples of restraint, proportional balance, and precision in detailing
Proficiency with AI-assisted design tools or documented history of swiftly adopting emerging technologies
Authorization to work in the United States and willingness to operate in a hybrid model requiring 50–70% campus travel
Nice-to-have Requirements
Background designing scalable, multi-location environments supported by documented standards and reusable templates
Experience creating non-traditional learning, community, or wellness environments featuring flexible zoning and varied seating configurations
Proficient visualization and rendering abilities that accelerate concept iteration and stakeholder alignment
