Do you like helping clients make their design dreams a reality? Become a part of the GuernseyTingle team.

There are those who work with GuernseyTingle and those who are part of GuernseyTingle.

Even more so than our clients, our team members have a deep sense of understanding about who we are and what we believe. If you’re an enthusiastically committed, innovative and collaborative individual who’s looking to make a difference, let’s talk.

The work at GuernseyTingle is varied, fun, and we all wear a lot of hats. We recognize the pressures of tight deadlines, budgets and demanding clients, but strive for a low-key, pleasant work environment with low turnover and long-term employment.

Our office is a very tight-knit, family-oriented group – from semi-annual “stress busters” at a local restaurant, volunteering together in the community, enjoying new home parties with co workers together, celebrating new life and new beginnings, we emphasize supporting and encouraging each other.

Live in the greater Williamsburg area, a culturally sophisticated area with good schools, desirable housing, high quality of life and 10 minute commutes…less than 1 hour from the Atlantic Ocean beaches, 2 hours from the Blue Ridge Mountains, and 45 minutes from cultural events in the larger cities of Richmond, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach. There are over 50 museums and art galleries in the metropolitan area.
