Calling all Spring 2024 graduates! Do you want to use your natural gifts for excellent copywriting and aesthetically pleasing social media feeds? Does the thought of working with brands in the interior design industry excite you?

We are a fast growing, woman-owned business that empowers high-end boutiques and businesses to embody their authentic story through intentional design and curated brand experiences.

We believe that a strong online presence opens the doors to new opportunities for our clients, and we want our Social Media Associate to feel empowered to help our clients grow their businesses.

You understand that a successful social media presence goes well beyond a pleasing aesthetic, but you’ve got that covered, too. You have a great eye for design, and you are always noticing attention-grabbing graphics, products, and brands.
