About Kia Designs
Kia Designs is a residential interior design studio. We've been doing this for 18 years, across more than 200 projects, mostly whole-home renovations where the layout changes as much as the finishes. We're a team of six, and we won Ultimate Luxury Kitchen Design of the Year at the Designer Kitchen & Bathroom Awards in 2018.
About the Role
We're looking for a junior designer who is comfortable on both sides of a project: the drawings that get the walls in the right place, and the interiors work that makes the room worth living in.
What you'll do
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
