ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented, and reliable Studio & Gallery Assistant to support the operational systems of a growing interior design studio and gallery space.

This role is the operational backbone of the studio — focused on calendar management, inbox oversight, digital organization, and maintaining structured workflows across active projects. Occasional on-site support may be needed for events or gallery activations.

You will work closely with founder Kate Swanson, providing trusted administrative support to ensure timelines, communication, and internal systems remain aligned and efficient.

This is a non-creative, operations-focused role. Ideal for someone who thrives in structure, loves detail, and brings calm clarity to a dynamic environment.
