Testimonials from our employees

Jeremy Sales Designer
What do I like the most about being a sales designer? Designing a project from A to Z and seeing my customers fall in love with its aesthetics and ease-of-use. I also love creating a surprise element by adding little details here and there during the design process. I always try to add that little extra that makes the difference.

What our sales designers say

Cintia Sales Designer
You could say I’ve been bitten by the Schmidt bug! From the start of my career, I loved the product right away, and how it was tailor-made. I feel completely in tune with the brand. Schmidt has really changed my life. I work with a fantastic team and I really like the freedom I have in the execution of my projects.
Vincent Sales Designer
I was approaching 40 and I wanted to change professions, but I didn’t know what direction to go in... Until I experienced the Schmidt customer experience by buying a kitchen myself! That got me interested in the brand and applying for a job. It’s been 3 years now that I’ve been a sales designer and I feel I’m in the right place.
Damien Sales Designer
One of my greatest memories at Schmidt was my first sale! I was still in training. I wasn’t feeling very confident and it was the customers who reassured me! In the end, I applied what I had learned and the next day, I presented the project to them. They were won over and signed the order form! I said to myself that day: ‘It’s OK, I'm going to like it here!’ And I've been enjoying it for 5 years!
