A NOTE FROM CHRIS

Hey there, I’m Chris Hamlin, the owner of Highland Ridge. For over 30 years, our company has been focused on creating lasting relationships—both with our clients and within our team. Many of our employees have been with us for over a decade, and that speaks to the family-oriented environment we’ve built.
We believe in fostering a culture of growth, collaboration, and excellence, and we’re looking for an Interior Designer who shares that vision. Someone who not only loves the creative side of remodeling, but understands the importance of clear documentation, communication, and teamwork in bringing ideas to life.
To make sure we find the right person, we’re offering a $3,000 signing bonus or 5 additional paid days off in your first year (your choice). We want this to be a place where you enjoy your work, feel proud of what you create, and still have time for a great life outside of work,
If you’re passionate about design, detail, and delivering real value to homeowners, I’d love to hear from you.
Let’s build something great together.
Chris Hamlin
