Position: Middleweight Interior & Experience Designer (Retail, Hospitality & F&B)
Start: September 2026
Term: Full-time
Salary: £30,000 - £40,000 per annum (dependent on experience)
Location: London (Hybrid - minimum 3 days per week in the studio)
We are looking for a talented Middleweight Interior & Experience Designer to join our growing team on a full-time, permanent basis.
This role is suited to a designer with at least 3 years' industry experience working across retail, hospitality and F&B environments, whether for established brands or founder-led businesses. You will have a strong design eye, excellent 3D visualisation skills and the ability to develop ideas from concept through to implementation.
At TYC, we help brands make braver decisions and bring them to life across lifestyle, culture and placemaking. Driven by evidence and insight, we create brands and experiences that people feel, not just see. As part of our interiors team, you will contribute to projects spanning retail stores, hospitality concepts, food and beverage environments, pop-ups, activations and experiential destinations.
About you
You are a curious, creative and commercially minded designer who understands how physical environments influence customer behaviour and brand perception.
You will be passionate about emerging trends, materials, technology and culture, actively seeking inspiration from the worlds of retail, hospitality, design and consumer experience.
You will be equally comfortable with freehand sketching, hands-on design development and the use of digital tools to bring ideas to life. You'll embrace AI-powered creative and productivity tools to support research, concept generation, visualisation and workflow efficiency, whilst understanding that great design is driven by human insight, creativity and critical thinking.
Curious by nature, you will continually challenge yourself, the brief and conventional thinking to uncover new opportunities and stronger solutions. You understand how emerging technologies can enhance creative output and project delivery while maintaining a rigorous, design-led approach.
