Duet

You’ve done physical, fast work before: event or catering crews, install or moving help, or you’re a parent with school-hours time who wants work that matters.

We’re building the Edit Collective, a bench of independent Stylists, Organizers and Assistants who finish homes for Duet clients across the Denver metro. Edit Assistants are the hands of the Collective. Unpacking, carrying, staging, breaking down boxes, clearing packing material, and getting each room ready for the Stylist or Organizer working beside you. It’s physical, it’s fast, and it’s the way into the Edit Collective.

Great work needs a clear room to start in. You make that happen.

Moves and installs run on momentum. One more set of capable hands keeps the whole team on schedule.

It’s where the bench starts. Assistants who show the eye or the systems move into Stylist and Organizer assignments.

We don’t make it up as we go. Clients come to Edit from our design projects and on their own, for organizing, moves, styling, seasonal décor and floral. Every assignment runs the same way.

You choose your work. We offer assignments with a date, a scope and a fee. You accept the ones that fit your life and decline the ones that don’t, with no penalty.

Every assignment has a plan. A Duet lead owns the client relationship and is on site to hold the standard. You bring your own way of getting it done.

The team changes by project. We match people to the house. A deep bench means more choice for our clients and more work for you.

Discretion is the job. You never photograph, post or share a client’s home, their belongings or their name. We photograph the work, with the client’s approval.

You connect with our lead and the Organizer you’re working beside.

Boxes to the right rooms, opened and emptied. Packing paper out, boxes broken down.

You stage pieces where the Stylist or Organizer needs them next.

Clearing, carrying and resetting as each room finishes.

Every room clear, trash out, and nothing on the floor that doesn’t belong there.

A paid day on a live Edit job beside our team.

You work beside our Stylists and Organizers on moves, unpacks and installs.

Show us the eye or the systems and you move into Stylist or Organizer assignments, at those fees.

A flat fee of $200 to $350 per assignment, quoted before you accept it and set by the scope of the work and your experience with us. Never hourly. Your trial day is paid.

You invoice us from your own business with a W-9 on file, and we pay within 10 business days of your invoice. This is independent contract work, so there are no employee benefits.

Our principals came up in big rooms: large commercial firms, hospitality groups, national architecture and construction practices. We chose residential because of the personal connection with homeowners and what it feels like to create the spaces people live in.

Duet Design has been here since 2011. Duet Build is its sister firm, and Duet Forma is our architecture practice. Together we cover the full path from architecture to interior to built. We do livable luxury for clients who care about the difference between done and well done.

Duet Edit is a service of Duet Design, and it’s where that care shows up in the details. The drawer that finally makes sense. The table set before the guests walk in. The box that lands in the right room on the first try.

This isn’t for everyone. If you’d post a client’s home, wait to be handed the next task, take a day to answer a text, or want this as a way into a design job, we’re not the right fit. If you notice what others miss and you follow through, we’d love to meet you.

Apply through our posting on Betterteam with names and contact information for two references, homeowners or business owners you’ve worked for. Tell us the role you want and roughly how many days a month you’d like to work. Then give us two paragraphs on each question below. Don’t send a cover letter. We don’t read them. Before your first assignment in a client home, you’ll complete a paid trial day and a background check.

01 Tell us about your most physical workday. What made it hard, and how did you finish it well?

02 Tell us about a time you saw something that needed doing before anyone asked. What was it, and what did you do?

03 Tell us about a time you handled something fragile or valuable that wasn’t yours. How did you protect it?
