Stay curious and current on design trends, fabrication methods, and emerging technologies that elevate physical experiences
Partner with cross‑functional teams to problem‑solve creatively and technically, ensuring both aesthetic excellence and practical feasibility
Manage multiple projects and timelines, maintaining a high standard of creative output
