Ktisma Studio is an intimate studio that designs landscapes, architecture, & interiors. We are based in both Ojai, California and Brooklyn, NY. The landscape work focuses on private gardens for homes at a variety of scales but most commonly larger acreages. The design ethos is one in which formalism is used to organize the design and a diverse mix of native and ornamental plantings add wildness, richness, and seasonal interest.

Ktisma Studio is looking for a qualified landscape designer to join our team as a project manager and work on a breadth of exciting residential projects throughout the eastern seaboard and California. The ideal candidate:

• Is a sensitive and thoughtful designer able to clearly identify the needs of a project and propose elegant solutions that work functionally, formally and aesthetically
• Is experienced in all phases of design, documentation and construction working with a rigorous design process and a keen intuition for thoughtful and unique landscapes
• Has a rich understanding of both formal garden design and natural American landscapes.
• Has fluent knowledge of the northeastern climate and plant species. Familiarity with California’s climate and plant species a plus.
• Is a patient and clear communicator with teammates, clients, contractors, and consultants.

This is a full-time position that can be worked semi-remote with weekly in-person time spent in our Brooklyn or Ojai studios. We offer a competitive salary that is commensurate with experience. Company benefits include paid time off, medical, dental, vision, and term life insurance coverage. Our company perks include educational stipends, the potential for yearly bonuses, and the participation in a 401K retirement plan.
