• Ability to design creatively within cost, timeline, and commercial parameters.
• Excellent communication, organizational, and project-management skills.
Who You Are:
- A highly creative, detail-oriented designer with a refined aesthetic.
- A self-starter capable of driving projects from concept to completion.
- Collaborative, resourceful, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
