Senior Interior Color + Surfaces Coordinator (SketchUp + High-End Renderings,)

We are looking for a senior-level interior consultant who specializes in color direction, wall finishes, wallpaper, wood tone coordination, and overall cohesion for a high-end residential interior. The project is located at Park Grove (Coconut Grove, Miami, Florida). Remote support is fine, but we prefer someone based in Miami (or able to meet locally on occasion). The overall design and layout are already established and built in SketchUp. Furniture selections have been made but are not yet committed, and the same is true for lighting. The goal of this engagement is to bring the project together visually and materially and to convert the existing SketchUp work into high-end renderings that accurately reflect finish decisions. This is not a full interior design role. It’s a refinement and coordination role focused on judgment, restraint, and making the space feel calm, resolved, and premium. Current Status (Important Context)

• Full condo layout is completed and coordinated in SketchUp
• Furniture is selected, but still flexible (editing and final confirmation needed)
• Lighting direction is selected, but not finalized
• Color, wall finish, wallpaper, and wood tone decisions are the primary missing layer
• We want to work collaboratively in real-time sessions to move faster and make decisions cleanly

Scope of Work This role includes: 1. Color + Finish Direction (Primary)

• Paint color direction and finish approach (e.g., Roman clay, limewash, plaster alternatives where relevant)
• Wallpaper recommendations and placement strategy
• Coordinating upholstery tones, stone, metal finishes, and wood tones into a coherent whole
• Ensuring the finish palette reads high-end, restrained, and consistent across the condo

2. Wood + Material Coordination

• Guidance on wood tone selection and continuity (oak, walnut, stains, sheen levels)
• Recommendations on where contrast is helpful vs where continuity is better
• Support on wood procurement direction (not purchasing directly, but advising on what to specify and what to avoid)

3. Visual Cohesion + Editor Role

• Identify what feels visually noisy or inconsistent and simplify
• Ensure the apartment reads calm and intentional, not over-designed
• Help make final calls on the handful of decisions that determine whether this feels premium or ordinary

4. SketchUp + High-End Renderings

• Strong SketchUp competency required
• Ability to turn the established model into high-end renderings (accurate materials, believable light, clean composition)
• Renderings should be decision-grade: useful for confirming finishes, not just “pretty”

Working Style (Very Important) We are looking for someone comfortable working collaboratively in real time using Upwork’s messaging and call tools. The goal is faster iteration, clearer decisions, and fewer revision cycles. This role is best suited to someone comfortable thinking and refining collaboratively, rather than delivering static concepts independently. Accessibility Considerations The primary user navigates the space in a power wheelchair. The layout is already designed with circulation in mind. Your role is to ensure finishes, furniture edits, and overall composition support accessibility without an institutional look. What This Is Not

• Not a full interior design engagement from scratch
• Not procurement or purchasing management
• Not a styling-only engagement

Ideal Background You may be a strong fit if you have experience with:

• High-end residential interiors with strong material and color judgment
• Wallpaper, paint, plaster-style finishes, and wood tone coordination
• SketchUp fluency and high-end rendering workflows
• Calm, minimal, proportion-driven design sensibility
• Collaborative client work in real-time sessions
• Miami-based preferred (or able to support remotely with a consistent schedule)

Deliverables (Initial)

• 1 cohesive finish direction for the full condo (paint/finish/wallpaper/wood tone)
• A short “do / do not” list to keep decisions consistent
• Decision-grade renderings of key areas (living, kitchen, primary bedroom) using the proposed finishes Iterative updates based on decisions made in working sessions

Project Terms (suggested)

• Hourly, Expert
• Duration: 2–6 weeks initial, with option to extend
• Hours: 5–15 hrs/week (flexible)
• Rate: $60–$150/hr depending on portfolio and speed
