Building a small interior design and art firm in Alexandria has been a journey of continuous change and improvement. Establishing Kristin Try Interiors (KTI) has allowed us to support and collaborate with many small businesses and individuals who call our community home. Coming from a background in government affairs, I’ve shaped KTI to align with my personal goals: flexibility, local impact, creativity, and leveraging skills from my previous career. Over the years, we've found our sweet spot, managing a select number of projects at a time, allowing us to stay focused on our goals while fostering creative growth.

Our philosophy at KTI emphasizes quality over quantity, ensuring we remain true to our values and community. As we move into our next chapter, we're seeking a local freelance/part-time project manager who is detail-oriented, enjoys job flexibility, has a strong connection to Alexandria, and possesses professional experience to proactively create better processes and project management tools. This role is essential for enhancing our vendors, contractors, and client experiences. We are always challenging the status quo in interior design to find better ways to achieve our goals, and hiring local, part-time, and freelance creatives reflects this philosophy.

Community Focused

Our projects center around Alexandria, allowing us to engage with local talent and keep close to the community that matters to us.

Flexible and Creative Environment

We manage a limited number of projects per year to maintain flexibility and foster deep connections with our clients. This approach helps prevent burnout and stress, ensuring a positive and creative work environment.

Passion for Details

Finding inspiration in everything from travels abroad to the flowers on our tables, we bring something special to each day for ourselves and those around us. We seek to build relationships with passionate and talented individuals who love design, our community, exploration, and the beauty of the smallest details.

Collaborative Culture

We value being collaborative, having fun, creating beauty, and being present in every role we undertake to always give our best effort.

What We’re Looking For:

Detail-Oriented Project Manager (Part-Time/Freelance)

Someone who enjoys job flexibility, has a strong connection to Alexandria, and possesses professional experience to enhance our processes and project management tools.

Local Expertise

Hiring local talent ensures we create spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also deeply meaningful and functional. Your local insight helps us tailor designs that resonate with our clients and community.

Passion for Design

We seek individuals who love design, appreciate the investment in creating a beautiful space, and value the talented artisans and fine craftsmanship that make projects unique.

Join Us in Making a Difference

By incorporating dedicated, local part-time and freelance individuals into our interior design projects, we enhance our relationships with vendors, clients, and contractors while aligning with our non-traditional approach to design. Valuing local expertise and prioritizing community connections sets us apart and ensures that every project we undertake reflects our values.

If you’re a passionate, detail-oriented professional looking to join a dynamic and creative team, we’d love to hear from you. Help us continue to make Alexandria a more beautiful place, one project at a time.
