Opportunities to propose and lead projects that impact your local community, including more than $1 million since 2015 in Habitat for Humanity builds, scholarships, and other pro bono community projects. Access to our Professional Development Grants program, created to encourage professional development and further LPA's collective knowledge as a firm. Over the life of the grant program, we have invested $1,196,890 and impacted 848 LPA employees. A hybrid schedule where Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday will be spent in our Austin studio, with the ability to work remotely on Mondays and Fridays. What We’re Looking For: Required: Bachelor’s and/or Master’s degree in Interior Architecture, Interior Design, or Architecture. 10+ years of professional experience across all phases of interior architecture projects.
