This studio assistant job is an in-person position for 5-10 hours a week in the Michelle Edgemont Design studio in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. The pay is hourly as an employee. It will be one day a week (winter and part of summer) in the slow season and two days a week in the busy season (spring and fall). Opportunity to do three days a week on the weeks we have events. This is not an event design or a floral design position, although could have the potential to grow to that for the right person. I’m looking for someone with a positive vibe, creative personality, independent nature, and natural problem solver. This person will work closely next to me to run the back-end of my event design and floral design studio.
TO APPLY: Email Michelle@MichelleEdgemont.com with subject line “Studio Assistant – your name” with resume, cover letter, reasons why you are the perfect person for this job, a link to your favorite Spotify playlist or podcast, and any other info you’d like to add. I’m excited to meet you!
