We're looking for a driven professional with an inclusive mindset to join our team as a Designer.

Crate and Barrel Designers have a passion for helping customers see what is possible with the latest on-trend merchandise. They build meaningful and long-term relationships with customers and use their comprehensive knowledge to guide and advise customers looking to furnish an entire room or simply add an accent piece. Our Designers are up-to-date on the latest trends and are trained to work with a range of design styles from classic to contemporary. In addition, Designers utilize digital tools and technology during in-store and in-home consultations to show our customers how our furniture, fabrics and decor can bring their vision to life. If you enjoy working with customers in a competitive team environment, have a passion for helping customers with their home interiors, and have a proven ability to drive sales, this position has the potential to offer you a creative and rewarding career.
